Abstract
This paper analyses how change in child mortality in different income sub-groups has contributed to change in child mortality in India during 2005–2021. The poorest and poor populations have primarily contributed to the decrease in child mortality while the contribution of the richest population has been negative. The contribution of the change in child mortality in different income sub-groups has been different in different states. In many states, it has been negative in the richest population. The contribution of the change is also sensitive to the measure of child mortality. The paper calls for reinvigorating India’s healthcare system.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
