level and mortality of children under the year of five in Sub-Saharan Africa, from 1990 to
2015.Data used in this study came from different waves of Demographic and Health Surveys
(DHS) of Sub-Saharan countries. Logistic regression and Buis’s decomposition method
were used to explore the effect of mother’s educational level on the mortality of children
under five years.
