| description | The objective of this study is to find the socioeconomic and proximate determinants of mortality in children under five years of age in Peru. To this end, the study focuses on the theoretical approach of Mosley and Chen (1984) and employs the econometric methodology of the Cox semi-parametric and proportional hazards model and the Kaplan and Meier non-parametric model. With regard to socioeconomic determinants, the results show that the mother’s years of education, the household economic status, and the mother’s health coverage significantly reduce the risk of death for children under the age of five. Likewise, the mother’s years of education has a significant interaction effect with the household socioeconomic level and access to health service coverage, which influence child survival. As for the proximal determinants, the mother’s age, birth intervals, birth order, and health facilities all predict the risk of death for children under five years of age. |

El objetivo del estudio fue encontrar los determinantes socioeconómicos y próximos de la mortalidad de niños menores de cinco años en el Perú. Con tal propósito el estudio se centra en el enfoque teórico de Mosley y Chen (1984), y en la metodología econométrica de los modelos de duración semi paramétrica de riesgos proporcionales de Cox y no paramétrica de Kaplan y Meier. En lo referente a los determinantes socioeconómicos, los resultados muestran que los años de educación de la madre, el estatus económico del hogar y las coberturas de salud de la madre disminuyen significativamente el riesgo de muerte de los niños menores de cinco años. Asimismo, los años de educación de la madre tienen un efecto interactivo significativo con el nivel socioeconómico del hogar y el acceso a la cobertura de servicio de salud para influir sobre la supervivencia infantil. En cuanto a los determinantes próximos, la edad de la madre, los intervalos entre naci-mientos, el orden de nacimiento de los hijos, y las instalaciones sanitarias predicen el riesgo de muerte de los niños menores de cinco años. 2020-11-21 2022-03-17T18:48:23Z 2022-03-17T18:48:23Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/1293 10.21678/apuntes.88.1293 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/53190 spa eng https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/1293/1500 https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/1293/1524 Derechos de autor 2020 RENE PAZ PAREDES MAMANI http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf application/pdf Universidad del Pacífico Apuntes.
