title: Under-5 mortality by background characteristics
unit_of_measure: Deaths per 1,000 live births
linearized_input: Under-5 mortality by background characteristics | Deaths per 1,000 live births | (TOTAL, 52) (Urban, 57) (Rural, 56) (Coast, 57) (North Eastern, 44) (Eastern, 45) (Central, 42) (Rift Valley, 45) (Western, 64) (Nyanza, 82) (Nairobi, 72) (Lowest, 57) (Second, 63) (Middle, 54) (Fourth, 58) (Highest, 47)
table_text: The probability of dying in early childhood is higher in some population subgroups than in others. differentials in early childhood mortality rates by residence, region, level of mother’s education, and household wealth. The childhood mortality rates by background characteristics are calculated for the 10-year period before the survey (approximately 2005-2014) so that the estimates are based on a sufficient number of births in each category to study mortality differentials across subgroups.
target: The probability of dying in early childhood is higher in some population subgroups than in others.
