India is a country of large children population, with a very high children mortality rate. Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is one of the biggest killer of infants and children in India.
current research is conducted to find out the difference in the mortality of Neonatal, Post neonatal and Children under five years of age due to ARI. Further we are interested to find out the relationship between per capita gross national income and mortality of children under five years of age due to ARI.
Very few studies have been conducted to find out the difference in mortality due to ARI across different age groups of infants/children.
Secondary data is analyzed by using ANOVA, Tukey Post hoc and partial correlation.
There is a significant difference between the mortality due to ARI of children across Neonatal, Post neonatal and under five years of age in India. Post hoc test suggests that mortality due to ARI of children is not significant for Post neonatal and children under five years of age. There is very strong and negative correlation has been found between per capita gross national product of India and mortality due to ARI in children.
Current research would help policy makers to make effective policies in public health domain. Further it gives idea to improve economic condition to reduce mortality due to ARI.
To fight against Post neonatal and children under five years of age mortality due to ARI, government in India can frame similar but effective policies.
