Subnational estimates of child mortality are difficult to produce and are rare in Sub- Saharan Africa. It is the overall aim of this research to derive estimates of child mortality rates for the municipalities and provinces of South Africa using the 2011 census data, and to assess the results in relation to the level of poverty and inequality. The estimation of child mortality rates is achieved through the use of direct synthetic cohort methods with Bayesian spatial smoothing. The Bayesian spatial smoothing process is used to generate municipal level estimates of child mortality rates. The model utilises information from neighbouring municipalities by controlling the effects of women’s education and HIV/AIDS. 2015-06-15T07:01:00Z 2015-06-15T07:01:00Z 2014 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13078 eng application/pdf Centre for Actuarial Research (CARE) Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
