Increase in maternal education in India is associated with reduction in preventable deaths in children under the age of five, according to a study.
The research, published in the journal Health & Place, is the first to explore the relationship between maternal education and children's health in the rural-urban context in India.
"Understanding how education affects under-five mortality is crucial for understanding future population dynamics in developing countries," said study corrosponding author, Samir K.C from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Austria.
The researchers analysed five rounds of the Indian National Family Health Survey (NFHS I-V) conducted between 1992 to 1993, and 2019 to 2021.
The under-five mortality rate was calculated using data from a questionnaire, which collected detailed information about birth history data among women, especially the date of birth and survival status of each live birth, and the age at death of each deceased .

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said if his party comes to power at the Centre, it would conduct a caste-based census to know the exact number of Other Backward Classes (OBCs) people in the country.
He was addressing a public meeting in Kalapipal assembly constituency in Shajapur district of Madhya Pradesh.
"Soon after coming to power, the first thing we will do is to go for a caste-based census to know the exact number of OBCs in the country as no one knows their exact number," Gandhi said.  He claimed that the country was being run by only 90 officers, including the cabinet secretary and secretaries, while the BJP MPs and MLAs had no role in framing policies and laws in the country.
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and bureaucrats are framing laws instead of elected BJP members, Gandhi alleged.
Terming Madhya Pradesh as the "epicentre" of corruption in the country, Gandhi said, "Scams like Vyapam have rocked the state. MBBS degrees are being sold, exam papers are be
