3 Apr 2024 Using MICS & DHS to Estimate Mortality Among Children, Adolescents, and Young People

Using MICS & DHS to estimate mortality among children, adolescents, and young people aged 5–24 years Presenters: Bruno Masquelier, Professor of Demography, Center for Demographic Research, University of Louvain, Belgium Danzhen You, Chief of Demographics and Senior Adviser, Statistics and Monitoring Data & Analytics Section, UNICEF Abstract: Globally, around 2.1 million children, adolescents and young people aged 5 to 24 died primarily from preventable causes in 2022. Monitoring mortality specifically within this age range is challenging because deaths are concentrated in countries lacking adequate vital statistics systems. In this webinar, we will explore the role of MICS and DHS-type surveys in estimating mortality among children aged 5-14 and young people aged 15-24, using birth histories and sibling histories. We’ll highlight the strengths and limitations of these data collection instruments for tracking mortality trends and disparities. Bios Bruno Masquelier is a Professor of Demography at UCLouvain in Belgium, specializing in the monitoring of mortality in low- and middle-income countries using survey and census data. He has led field research in Senegal and Madagascar focusing on cause-specific mortality and verbal autopsies. He is a member of the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) of the United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation. Danzhen You is a Demographer and has about 20 years of professional experience in demography, public health and development.
