Mortality rates are calculated from information collected in the birth histories of the Women’s Questionnaires. All interviewed women were asked whether they had ever given birth, and if yes, they were asked to report the number of sons and daughters who live with them, the number who live elsewhere, and the number who have died.

2. Introduction
Mortality rates are calculated from information collected in the birth histories of the Women’s
Questionnaires. All interviewed women were asked whether they had ever given birth, and if yes, they were
asked to report the number of sons and daughters who live with them, the number who live elsewhere, and
the number who have died.
In addition, they were asked to provide a detailed birth history of live births of children in chronological order
starting with the firstborn. Women were asked whether births were single or multiple, the sex of the
children, the date of birth (month and year), and survival status.
Further, for children still alive, they were asked the current age of the child and, if not alive, the age at
death. Childhood mortality rates are expressed by conventional age categories and are defined as follows:
 Neonatal mortality (NN): probability of dying within the first month of life
 Post-neonatal mortality (PNN): difference between infant and neonatal mortality rates
 Infant mortality: probability of dying between birth and the first birthday
 Child mortality: probability of dying between the first and the fifth birthdays
 Under-five mortality: the probability of dying between birth and the fifth birthday
Rates are expressed as deaths per 1,000 live births, except in the case of child mortality, which is
expressed as deaths per 1,000 children surviving to age one, and post-neonatal mortality, which is the
difference between infant and neonatal mortality rates.
