As such it demands close attention. In this study, some socio-economic factors affecting under-five mortality in Nigeria were investigated. The study modeled a multiple regression of the factors such as prevalence of HIV, GDP per capita, fertility rate, people using safely managed drinking water services, literacy rate, adult female and labour force participation rate and the findings indicated that in every year, it is expected that about 208 under five children out of every possible 1000 live births die in Nigeria. It was found that as adult females acquire more education, the chances of under-five mortality will reduce over time, the more clean drinking water is provided, the lesser the expectation of under-five mortality in Nigeria. It was also found that the more women tend to participate in labour force, the lesser the number of under-five deaths. With p-values0.05, it was discovered that the number of children each woman is expected to have has been a major factor increasing under-five mortality rate. In conclusion it was recommended that the girl-child education should not be overlooked as it contributes immensely to child survival....Preview Download Preview +Other Mathematics and Statistics project topics and materials you might be interested in»Statistical Quality Control of Premier Soap in Soap Manufacturing Industry ( A Case Study of PZ Cusson PLC Aba Abia State)»Statistical analysis of students’ height and weight (case study of federal polytechnic Nekede, Owerri, Imo state) »Statistical analysis of unemployment rate among age groups and geographical locations in Nigeria»Statistical analysis of the problems associated with skill acquisition in Nigeria (a case study of male tailors in Imo state)»Application of linear programming technique to profit maximization in the production of soap (a case study of Promotex industrial and chemical company limited, Nnewi, Anambra state) »Statistical analysis of foster care and adoption rate in Abia state (a case study of motherless babies home Ahiaeke, Umuahia)»Determination of nutritional status of children within the ages of four (4) to ten (10) years using their body mass index (BMI)»Time series analysis on marriage registration in Ilorin, Kwara state»Application of multiple queuing model in evaluating the efficiency of service in UBA bank»Statistical analysis on impact of parental hood on academic performance»Determinant of foreign direct investment in Nigeria and its effect on Nigerian economy: an empirical analysis»Econometrics analysis of gross national income on consumption expenditure of federal republic of Nigeria between (2011)»Statistical analysis of factors affecting crime in Imo state»Statistical study of the queuing pattern at the antinatal division of Federal Medical Center FMC Owerri Imo state»A statistical analysis of coal production in Nigeria - a case study of Nigeria coal corporation from 2000-2009
