Abstract
In this article , an attempt has been taken to focus light on the status of women in
Bangladesh and also see its effect on early childhood mortality controlling the effect of
other associated determinants.
This paper examines the proposition that constraints on
women’s status adversely affect the survival of their children.
Survey data are used to
construct indices of women’s household autonomy and authority , which are then linked
to longitudinal data on survival of their neonates.
Key words: Infant mortality rate (IMR), Multinomial logistic regression, Neonatal mortality
rate (NMR), Post-neonatal mortality rate (PNMR).
