The objective of this thesis is two-fold.
First, is to estimate the infant and child mortality
in Kenya at the national, provincial and district
levels by all possible differentials.
Second, to study the patterns and seasonality
of births and deaths in Central province by using
the complete vital registration of Nyeri, Murang"a
and Kirinyaga.
The major finding in this thesis is that
for substantial reduction of infant and child mortality,
a policy for universal secondary education for girls
is essential. Special Health policy is required for malaria zones
