| description | The world is today a healthier and safer place than ever, and children have the
chance to become responsible adults and to enjoy their lives. Romania has made
unquestionable progress, especially in the last two decades, with infant mortality rates
increasingly approaching the European average. However, our country still occupies leading
places across the European continent on child deaths, with children remaining in our society,
the most vulnerable social category. Strong territorial and social disparities mark this positive
development. In our study we intend to identify the particularities (ethnic and confessional)
that influence, in some cases, child mortality in Iași county (four types of communes with
distinct ethnic and confessional). Whereas a clearing-up is taking place in Iași county between
vulnerable socio-economic communities and those with higher levels of development. The
results of the study show a stronger correlation between the ethnic factor and the
level of infant mortality as opposed to the confessional factor, closely linked to the
incidence of educational, economic or demographic factors. |
