The inverse correlation between mortality and socioeconomic status has been documented in various parts of the developing world. Using 1974 socioeconomic status information from Matlab, Bangladesh, the results show a similar inverse relationship. Several indicators are used, such as education of household head, mother's education, size of dwelling, and health practices. Data from a pilot study undertaken in 1981 in five villages from the same area corroborate the result that mother's education provides a striking indicator of mortality levels in young children.
