Abstract
Utilizing the 1974 Retrospective Survey data and registration data by Cholera Research for 1967–68 and by the Population Growth Experiment for 1962–63, this study attempts to measure infant and child mortality levels in Bangladesh and to determine their structure. The child mortality technique is used to convert proportions dead among children ever born to women in the childbearing ages into conventional life table measures of mortality. Shortcomings of present methods of measuring infant and child mortality in developing populations are discussed.
