This article uses household-level economic and fertility survey data to examine the relationship between household income and child survival in Egypt. Income has little effect on infant mortality but is inversely related to mortality in early childhood. The relationship persists with other associated socioeconomic variables controlled. The mechanisms underlying the income effects are not evident from this analysis: income differentials in sources of household drinking water, type of toilet facilities, and maternal demographic characteristics do not explain the net impact of income on child mortality. The absence of effects on child survival of the size of the place of residence and the relatively weak effects of maternal schooling are also notable.
本文使用家庭层面的经济和生育调查数据来研究埃及家庭收入与儿童生存之间的关系。收入对婴儿死亡率影响不大，但与幼儿死亡率呈负相关。在控制了其他相关社会经济变量后，这种关系依然存在。从该分析中，收入影响背后的机制并不明显：家庭饮用水来源、厕所设施类型以及母亲人口特征方面的收入差异并不能解释收入对儿童死亡率的净影响。居住地规模对儿童生存没有影响以及母亲受教育程度的影响相对较弱，这些也值得注意。
