Figure 3. Early life mortality measures in the NFHS 2 and the NFHS 3.

Figure 3

Neonatal and postneonatal morality are given at the state-survey round level, based on the fraction of children born in the three years before the survey who died. A child, whether dead or alive at the time of the survey, is used in the computation of neonatal mortality only if at least a month has passed since his birth. Likewise, a child is used in the computation of postneonatal mortality only if at least a year has passed since his birth. The fraction of children who died is scaled by 1000.
