Abstract
Differentials in child survival in Bangladesh have been examined using a number of socioeconomic and environmental factors on data from the 1989 Bangladesh Fertility Survey. Multivariate analysis reveals that b oth wife's and husband's education and household electricity show a si gnificant positive association with child survival. The respondent's w orking status exerts a significant negative influence. Wife's educatio n has a greater influence on child survival in Bangladesh than that of husband's education.
