This paper attempts to measure infant and child mortality levels and also to determine their structure by utilizing the results of the 1968-1069 National Demographic Sample Survey which was conducted under the directorship of the author. Among the major problems encountered in the exercise are the adjustment of the current raw mortality data and the estimation of infant and child mortality from independent source material. The estimated infant mortality rates range from 56 per 1,000 live births in the Accra Capital District to 192 in the Upper Region during the late 1960's. The urban rate is lower than the rural rate, 98, as against 161 per 1,000 live births. A large proportion of the deaths among children aged 0-4 occur in the second year of life, and deaths in this age group account for the bulk of the deaths within the age group 1-4 years.
本文试图通过利用作者主持开展的1968 - 1969年全国人口抽样调查结果来衡量婴幼儿死亡率水平，并确定其构成。在这项工作中遇到的主要问题包括对当前原始死亡率数据的调整，以及从独立来源材料中估计婴幼儿死亡率。20世纪60年代后期，估计的婴儿死亡率从阿克拉首都地区每1000例活产56例到上地区的192例不等。城市地区的死亡率低于农村地区，分别为每1000例活产98例和161例。0至4岁儿童死亡的很大一部分发生在生命的第二年，该年龄组的死亡占1至4岁年龄组死亡总数的大部分。
