Abstract
Development economics is one of the richest fields for research. Apart from macroeconomics, microeconomics, and finance, a sufficient number of experts dedicate their papers to examining and explaining different socioeconomic phenomena happening in peoples lives. One of the most critical problems in modern society is child mortality. It has been prevalent at all stages of the worlds history. On the other hand, in the 20th and 21st centuries of financial innovations and globalization, this problem should be less severe than it was formerly. The data from UNICEF shows that the child mortality problem remains as keen as it has always been. According to UNICEFs 2023 report on child mortality, around 5 million children and youths died due to unnatural reasons (UNICEF, 2018). The researchers argue that their deaths may have been averted in the case of proper care and living conditions. However, these factors do not rely entirely on children. The society and their families should guarantee their safety and well-being. Some experts assure that the possible key to solving child mortality is womens education. High-educated women are intelligent; they understand the importance of childcare. Educated women can also be income generators; families have enough money for food and health expenses (Doku et al., 2020). This paper conducts empirical research on the prevalence of child mortality in Uzbekistan. The main objective of this research is to examine the impact of womens education and other household parameters on child mortality in Uzbek families. The theoretical framework and ideas behind child mortality will be applied in practical econometric analysis by examining related literature. The data for this analysis has been downloaded from a respectful authority, the DHS program.
