| Sumario: | Is has been broadly recognized that the mothers› educational level has an impact on the level of infant mortality (IM) but little is known about the situation in the province of Cordoba, Argentina to monitor inequalities. For that purpose, the objective was to identify gaps in IM according to the mothers› educational level in the province. The data source is the Census of Population, homes and housing (2010). Brass indirect method is used; inequality indicators are calculated and the current level of IM is simulated applying the gaps observed. The conclusion was that to higher educational level, the smaller the risk of infants to die before the year of age. RR was 1.73 and PAR 25%. If there wasn›t a gap, IMR would have been 6 instead of 8% of children born alive in 2015. |
