Abstract
Characteristics of community contexts important to child survival in Third World countries are reviewed. The type of economic production and stratification system, women's position, medical care and public health services, and cultural practices constrain and provide resources to individuals living within a community. Child survival viewed within the community context expands upon structural forces affecting mortality differentials.
