Child mortality estimation: estimating sex differences in childhood mortality since the 1970s. by Cheryl Chriss Sawyer

“…<h4>Introduction</h4>Producing estimates of infant (under age 1 y), child (age 1-4 y), and under-five (under age 5 y) mortality rates disaggregated by sex is complicated by problems with data quality and availability. Interpretation of sex differences requires nuanced analysis: girls have a biological advantage against many causes of death that may be eroded if they are disadvantaged in access to resources. …”
