This research focuses on estimating infant and under-five mortality in South Africa for the period 1998-2012, both to update previous estimates taking into account new data and to assess the reasonableness of all estimates. Data from the 2011 Census and the 2012 HSRC survey were used for this purpose. The 2011 Census provided data from deaths reported by households as well as the survival of the most recent births. The 2012 HSRC provided full birth history data for women aged 15-49 which were used for direct estimation of childhood mortality. Deaths reported by households together with census estimates of the number of children under the age of five are used to produce estimates of infant and under-five mortality using the synthetic cohort life table approach. 2015-06-26T11:30:04Z 2015-06-26T11:30:04Z 2014 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13143 eng application/pdf Centre for Actuarial Research (CARE) Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
