Skilled birth attendance and institutional delivery have been advocated for reducing maternal, neonatal mortality and infant mortality (NMR and IMR). This paper examines the role of place of delivery with respect to neo-natal and infant mortality in India using four rounds of the Indian National Family Health Survey conducted in 2015–2016. The place of birth has been categorized as “at home” or “public and private institution.” The role of place of delivery on neo-natal and infant mortality was examined by using multivariate hazard regression models adjusted for clus-tering and relevant maternal, socio-economic, pregnancy and new-born characteristics. There were 141,028 deliveries recorded in public institutions and 54,338 in private institutions. The esti-mated neonatal mortality rate in public and private institutions during this period was 27 and 26 per 1000 live births respectively. The study shows that when the mother delivers child at home, the chances of neonatal mortality risks are higher than the mortality among children born at the health facility centers. Regression analysis also indicates that a professionally qualified provider′s antenatal treatment and assistance greatly decreases the risks of neonatal mortality. The results of the study illustrate the importance of the provision of institutional facilities and proper pregnancy in the prevention of neonatal and infant deaths. To improve the quality of care during and imme-diately after delivery in health facilities, particularly in public hospitals and in rural areas, accel-erated strengthening is required.

PurposeGhana is one of the countries instituting several measures toward attracting more Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows. This is because, FDI is largely viewed as essential to socioeconomic development. However, while population health can influence FDI inflows, it has received very little attention. This study, therefore, investigates empirically, as to focusing on population health could be a useful tool in Ghana’s attempt to attract more FDI inflows.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses time series data on Ghana from 1980 to 2018 to achieve its objective. Life expectancy, death rate, infant mortality rate, under-five mortality rate and incidence of malaria are used as proxies for population health, while the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and the Instrumental Variable Two-Stage Least Square (IV2SLS) regressions are employed as empirical estimation techniques.FindingsUsing the OLS regression, except the incidence of malaria, the study finds all the other population health indicators to significantly influence FDI inflows. However, after controlling for endogeneity using the IV2SLS regression, all population health indicators are found to be significant as regards their effects on FDI inflows.Practical implicationsPaying attention to population health could be an effective strategy that can be employed by policymakers in the quest to get more FDI inflows into Ghana.Originality/valueThis study, to the best of our knowledge, is the first study solely devoted to Ghana, which doing so helps in devising country-specific policies with regard to the effect of population health on FDI inflows. Further, this study becomes the first to use death rate, infant mortality rate and under-five mortality rate in examining the effect of population health on FDI inflows. Thus, since there are various causes of deaths, using indicators that capture deaths from all factors helps in giving a much broader picture with regard to the FDI population health nexus. Also, this study is the first to use up to five different population health indicators in examining the effect of population health on FDI inflows, which aids in revealing whether FDI is sensitive to the population health indicator used.

THROUGH the sampling procedure developed by the National Office of Vital Statistics, preliminary estimates were made early in 1954 of the most important statistical indices for 1953. These estimates have been shown to be quite accurate and when the final actual figures are available there is only slight variation. Presented below are the graphs and figures illustrating the data for 1953 and 1952 on Birth Rate, Marriage License Rate, Death Rate, and Infant Mortality Rate, as shown in Monthly Vital Statistics Report, Volume 2, No. 12, Feb. 17, 1954. Little change is to be seen between the two years, although it is gratifying to note continuation, even though slight, of the decline in Infant Mortality Rate. Births continue at a supnisingly high level with the rate showing no signs of the long predicted fall. The figure of over 3.9 million births refers to registered births and is the highest ever recorded. Furthermore, if we take into account those which occurred but for which birth certificates were not filed, the total number of births in the U.S.A. in 1953 probably exceeded 3,970,000. [SEE GRAPH 1 IN SOURCE PDF.] Marriages also continued at a high rate, but in the last two months of the year there was a suggestion of a slight turndown, with the December 1953 rate being 7.5% under the December 1952 rate. Reports in 1954 will determine whether this trend remains in evidence. Seasonal variations, both in marriages and births, show the same pattern as in previous years. While the total Death Rate shows no change, this is due to a rather sharp increase in the first two months of the year with 1953 showing better rates than 1952 for most of the year.

Continuous Decrease

I am pleased with the continuous decrease of the infant mortality rate. As a pediatrician involved in community programs as well as in hospital programs, I feel that some data have to be presented in evaluating the infant mortality rate. For instance, it will be helpful to know how much of the infant mortality the neonatal death rate represents and how much of the neonatal death the prenatal death rate represents. After this breakdown, let us compare with other countries the infant mortality rate divided in age groups: 0 to 1 month, 1 to 3 months or 1 to 6 months, and 6 to 12 months.

The Past

The provisional figures from the Registrar General for 1948 are remarkable for the lowest infant mortality rate for England and Wales ever recorded. This now stands at 34 per 1,000 related live births and is a big improvement on the previous lowest figure of 41 reached in 1947. The general death rate was also the lowest (10.8 per 1,000 total population) so that it is clear that the country has been experiencing a healthy year. It has been suggested that the academic developments of child health departments in nearly all the universities in the past few years may be allotted some share in the credit for the record infant mortality rate.

The role of midwives in service delivery assurance in dr. H. Soewondo Kendal based on Permenkes No. 2562/MENKES /PER/XII/2011 on Technical Guidelines for Labor Warranty. The aim is to implement the appropriate authority midwifery services, with the ultimate goal of reducing the MMR (Maternal Mortality Rate) and IMR (Infant Mortality Rate). If viewed from Permenkes 1464/Menkes /Per/X/2010 number of licenses and the implementation of midwifery practice, it is not really appropriate authority for the role of the midwife in the hospital to service delivery is a delivery service assurance of advanced midwives in hospitals. The scope of service includes pregnant women, maternity (risti), childbirth, newborns, family planning and treatment of complications in obstetrics. So based on the authority role of the midwife in the hospital should not be for the scope of services for maternity delivery guarantee (risti) and treatment of complications in obstetrics

The Impact

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess the role of National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in reducing Infant Mortality in India. The study will help the government in deciding its future course of action regarding the infant mortality rate (IMR) reduction in India. Design/methodology/approach This paper adopts the interrupted time series analysis (ITSA) approach with a control group to study the role of NRHM in reducing the IMR in India. The authors examined infant mortality in rural areas of India for the level and trend change before and after the implementation of NRHM. The authors then applied a suitable ARMA model to estimate the coefficients of the regression model. From the estimated results, the study predicts the counterfactuals for both the rural IMR and urban IMR and plots the results. Findings The study found the evidence supporting the hypotheses that the NRHM has led to a reduction in the difference between urban IMR and rural IMR. The research shows that the rural IMR declined at steeper rates in the post-NRHM period (2005–2015). Originality/value None of the existing studies analyses the impact of a social scheme like NRHM on the reduction of IMR in India by applying the ITSA. The study is unique as it estimates the counterfactuals and plots the results which show the impact of NRHM on reducing IMR.

Indonesian Population

The Indonesian population is still growing rapidly and it is induced by fertility and mortacity aspect. In the period of 1961-1971, the overage rate of population growth was 2.1 percent and it became 2.34 percent in the next decade. After that a decrease occured in the period of 1980-1985 (2.1 percent). The decrease in the growth rate lasted to the year of 1990 (1.9 percent). The increase in population in the period of 1971 – 1980 did not mean the failures of the development programmes, like education, health, family planning, the women rate etc but it was due to the decrease in mortality rate was faster than the decrease in fertility rate in the demographic transition era. The development intervention, as stated set forth, has induced the decrease in fertility and mortality in this country, though different intensity. The special province of Yogyakarta and Bali their transition wheieas Nusa Tenggara Barat province is still far from the end of transition. The development impact will life expectancy, death rate, infant mortality rate etc.

The Subject

SummaryThis study tests the proposition that the contribution of environmental factors to the reduction of infant mortality early in the twentieth century was greater than that made by the alleviation of poverty. The estimates were obtained from retrospective reports of women enumerated at the 1911 Census, and covered the period from approximately 1895 to 1910. Infant mortality by father's occupation underwent an average decline of 35% from a peak infant mortality rate (IMR) of 132, with wide variation. The removal of poor (usually urban) residential conditions was probably associated with the decline, but, except at the extremes, income did not explain the differences. In the 97 great towns, the subject of this study, where the average decline in IMR was also 35% from a peak of 146, the rate of urbanization over 20 years accounted for a significant proportion of the differential decline, and measures of poverty added little to the explanation. This conclusion survived multivariate analysis using urban development and poverty level as explanatory variables, and controlling for fertility decline and selective migration.

Purpose This study aims to apply some concepts of actuarial statistics to the authorship of Iranian ISI papers in the field of chemistry based on Price’s model. The study determines scientific birth rate, death rate, infant mortality rate, natural increase rate and life expectancy. Design/methodology/approach Price maintained that authors in each given period in any field fall into four categories including newcomers, transients, continuants and terminators. He suggested that actuarial statistics could be applied to authorship to calculate death rate and birth rate in scientific fields. A total 25,573 papers written by 59,661 Iranian chemistry authors between 1973 and 2012 were downloaded from Web of Science (WoS) and were subjected to statistical analysis. Findings The average birth rate was 66.7 per cent, the average death rate was 19.4 per cent, infant mortality rate was 51.2 per cent, average natural increase was 47.3 per cent, the average life expectancy was 1.98 years and the longest scientific age was 22 years. The results show that although a large number of people start their scientific activity, the number of those who terminate their activity in the same year as they start (infant mortality rate) is also large and little continuity exists in the publishing activities of Iranian chemists. Research limitations/implications The findings have implications for the planning of human resources in science. They could help maintain a stable scientific labor force and decide for instance whether a larger number of scientists should be trained and hired, or the barriers should be removed so the existing scientists can work for more years. The limitation is that the study is restricted to ISI articles, although they are not the only kind of scientific output. Originality/value This is the first study of its kind on Iranian scientific output. It shows that the overall labor force in the field of chemistry in Iran was not satisfactory, as the majority of authors in each period are transients. There is a need for better planning for the labor force.
