| dc.description.abstract | Under-five child mortality level can be used for strategic and national planning as well as a measure of socio-economic indicators like the quality of health care, nutrition, family planning, practice and usage. The story of child survival over the past two decades is one of significant progress and unfinished business. In Ethiopia a significant reduction of under-five child mortality was observed in the last decade though there is much to do to achieve the desire goal. This study aimed to identity the important socio-economic and demographic determinants of under-five child mortality using EDl-fS 20 II data. Descl'iptive analysis, cross-tabulation analysis, logistic regression analysis and multilevel regression analysis were used for data analysis. It was found that 7.24 % of under-five children could not survive among chi ldren born within five years. Months of breast feeding, mothers' educational level and total children everborn were important factors that affect under-five child mortality. Similarly birth order number of 4-6 and 7-9, number of household members of 6-10 and 11-15 significantly affected under-five mortality. The regions Afar, Amhara, Oromia, Benishangul-Gumuz, SNNP and Gambela were affected most. Children born to mothers of age group 15-19 and 20-24 years were signifi cantly affected based on logistic regression model analysis. The same is true for multilevel regression except that region was a significant random effect. It is recommended that mothers should breast feed their chi ldren for at least 6 months; females education enrolment should increase; mothers should give small number of births; mothers should not give birth in their early age; and regions should be considered while formulating policy to reduce under-five child mortality. | en_US |
