- 4. Somalia CHILD MORTALITY RATE OF 239.2 DEATHS PER 1,000 LIVE BIRTHS.
- 6. Under 5 Child Mortality Somalia 23.9% World Average 3.05% World Median 1.67%
- 7. Causes of Under 5 Child Mortality SOMALIA 1. Pneumonia 2. Diarrhea 3. Measles 4. Neonatal Disorders THE WORLD 1. Preterm Birth Complications 2. Acute Respiratory Infections 3. Intrapartum-related complications 4. Congenital Abnormalities
- 8. Which region Has The Highest Child Mortality Rate?
- 9. West and Central Africa- 10% Sub-Saharan Africa- 8% Eastern and Southern Africa- 6% South Asia- 5% Middle East and North Africa- 3%
- 11. Regional Comparison *Note these are median rates
- 13. Findings In Sub-Saharan Africa, 1 in 13 children die before their fifth birthday – in high-income countries, the ratio is 1 in 199 There is a clear correlation. Child mortality reflect the broader influence of sustainable social and economic development on children’s health
- 14. What is the relationship between a country's access to clean water and sanitation and child mortality?
- 15. / Theory Access to drinking water and sanitation will impact child mortality rates Where there is less access, child mortality rates will be higher
- 17. What is the relationship between adult literacy and child mortality?
- 18. Findings • Significant Negative Relationship. • 1% Increase in literacy leads to a fall of .373 in mortality. • P-value of >.01%, indicating highly significant. • ~62% of the variation in Child Mortality can be explained by adult literacy
- 19. 2013
- 21. Is there a significant variance for the literacy rate of men vs. women?
- 24. Findings •There is a stronger correlation between women and child mortality than between men and child mortality, as seen in the R^2 value. •However, there is a small difference in the two, suggesting they are both very influential in child mortality rates.
- 25. Recommendations
- 26. • Increase donations of education materials to increase literacy • Create adult literacy programs in nations with low rates
- 27. • Repeal laws preventing women from attending school • Increase support for women in the developing world to learn to read • Funding NGOs that support women in school
Editor's Notes
- Using 2017 from the "Under 5 child mortality rates by country" spreadsheet from UNICEF.......As you can see there is a vast difference in child mortality between the lowest and highest rate per country. Rates that vary from 1 to 239.2 deaths per 1,000 live births.
- In somalia the under 5 mortality rate is the highest in the world--- almost 1 out of every 4 children under the age of 5 dies before seeing their 5th birthday.
- As seen on the map, somalia is on the east side of africa AND within the same contient as the rest of the countries in the top 5 child mortality ranking
- Somalia has a shockingly high child mortality rate in comparison to the rest of the world. The wide 20% gap can be attributed to drought and wide spread food insecurity, which is worsened by poor healthcare, lack of access to safe drinking water and safe sanitation facilities
- The leading causes of infant and child mortality are illnesses such as... Pneumonia---Diarrhea---Measles---Neonatal disorders ****Undernutrition is an underlying factor in over a third of the deaths**** In comparison to somalia, the world has eliminated the causes of under 5 mortality like those in somalia. The world faces advanced and intensive care demanding complications that would not be as common of an issue in somalia because children would die of malnutrition and otherwise treatable illnesses.
- As we can see here we used a bar chart showing the child mortality rate data from 2013, 2015 and 2017 we can see West an central Africa have the highest child mortality rate with 10% of every 1000 child births but fortunetly we see this number is trending down.
- The least developed regions such as West and Central Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa have the highest rates of child mortality at nearly 80-100 per 1,000 live births. In contrast, there are less than 6 per 1,000 lives births in the regions with the lowest child mortality rates in Australia and New Zealand and Europe.
