Evolution of the disparities in front of the death (1992-2012) according to the characteristics of the child: Case of the children less than 5 years in Niger

Evolution of the disparities in front of the death (1992-2012) according to the characteristics of the child: case of the children of less than 5 years in Niger. The examination of the various results of the Demographic and Health surveys (DHS) realized in Niger allows noticing that the level of the young mortality decreased regularly during the last twenty years in passing from 3l8%o to l27%o between 1992 and 2012. We note a differential mortality of the less than five-year-old children according to the age, the sex, the weight at the birth, and the preceding birth interval. From the results of four DHS (on 1992, on 1998, on 2006, on 2012) and on the basis of calculations of indication of evolution our objective is to highlight the evolutions of the disparities according to these various variables according to the various quotients of mortality (neonatal, post-neonatal, infantile, young). Our results show that the reduction in the mortality of the children of often comes along with a worsening of the disparities in front of the death.
