...
— Which country are child deaths distributed unequally?
India is more unequal, because it shifts from 50 to 150. Almost three times.
— Illness concentration curve: favours the poor (more concentration on the poor bc
above the diagonal, largest share of the illness is on poor).
Concentration index:
Negative on POOR — above diagonal
Positive on RICH — below diagonal
,We need to know the data before performing the analysis:
• demographic surveys
• world health surveys
• living standards measurement surveys
• multi indicator cluster survey
• other household surveys
, Exercise 1: Measuring Inequalities — STATA
1. C_sba_5y = skill birth attendance — PROPORTIONAL (POOR≈RICH) 0.0161
C_anc_5y = antenatal care — PRO RICH 0.0369
C_fullimm = immunization — PRO POOR -0.0215
The most unequally distributed is antenatal care because it is the furthest from the
diagonal. In the graph.
Overall, underweight variable is the most unequally distributed (-0.28).
2. Child stunting (-0.14) and underweight (-0.28) are mostly concentrated on the poor,
negative values of concentration index — so above diagonal.
