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:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
