Este artículo estima los determinantes socioeconómicos de la mortalidad infantil en Colombia, haciendo uso de los datos censales más recientes y disponibles al público en el país (1993). Para tal fin, se estiman las tasas de mortalidad infantil (TMI) de manera indirecta siguiendo el método Brass-Trussell, dadas las altas tasas de subregistro, que pueden alcanzar el 30%. Estas estimaciones permiten una mejor medición de la TMI por diferentes características socioeconómicas, nunca antes medidas en el país, así como plantear un modelo estadístico que mide paramétricamente los principales determinantes socioeconómicos de la TMI en el país. Los resultados destacan la educación materna, la calidad de la vivienda, el acceso a servicios públicos y a servicios sanitarios como los principales determinantes de la TMI en Colombia.
This article considers the socioeconomic determinants of infant mortality in Colombia, by using the most recent and available census to the public data in Colombia (1993). For such aim, the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is calculated by indirect estimation techniques following the Brass-Trussell method, given the high rates of sub-registry, which can reach 30%. These estimations allow better measurements of IMR by different socioeconomic characteristics, never measured before in Colombia, as well as to apply a statistical model that parametrically measures the main socioeconomic determinants of the IMR. The results prove maternal education, predominant housing materials, access to public and sanitary services to be the main determinants of IMR in Colombia.
