Abstract

The article reports on the results of research on the link between marriage and child mortality which was conducted in Ghana. Researchers evaluated data from Ghana Demographic and Health surveys conducted between 1998 and 2003 which evaluated 4,938 children. After using multivariate analysis which controlled for social and demographic factors, researchers found that children born from polygvnous marriages had a greater risk than those born from monogamous marriages of dying before the age of five.
