Abstract

The present chapter assesses the burden of infant mortality on socio-economic classes by measuring the effects of socio-economic classes on infant mortality. The socio-economic classes as provided by the District Level Household and Facility Survey (DLHS-3) conducted by International Institute of Population Sciences (IIPS), Mumbai in collaboration with Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India, and district-level infant mortality data for the seven northeast Indian states as reported by MoHFW are used for the analysis. The data exhibit a high degree of intra-state correlation as well as a high degree of inter-district spatial correlation. A generalized linear mixed model approach capitalizing on the intra-state correlation is adopted for the analysis. Further, spatial analysis of data has been performed using Conditional Autoregressive (CAR) model. The results are discussed and mapped.
