    Summary

    This study estimates rural/urban mortality differences in countries with poor death registration. It uses urbanization indices to allocate death data, providing a novel method for demographic analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Public Health
    • Mortality Studies

    Background:

    • Estimating rural/urban mortality differentials is challenging in countries with incomplete death registration by place of residence.
    • Existing methods often rely on fertility survey data, which may not fully capture mortality patterns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and apply a methodology for estimating rural/urban mortality differentials using available death registration data.
    • To validate the proposed method by comparing its results with established techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • The study allocates death registration data to rural and urban areas using indices of urbanization applied to geographic units.
    • This approach assumes varying levels of urbanization across geographic units, allowing for their classification into urban and rural categories.

  • The methodology was tested using 1975 Philippine death registration data.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed methodology successfully estimated rural/urban mortality differentials in the Philippines.
    • Results were comparable to estimates derived from the 1978 World Fertility Survey using Brass, Sullivan, and Trussell techniques.
    • This demonstrates the feasibility and potential accuracy of the urbanization index method.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed methodology offers a viable alternative for estimating rural/urban mortality differentials when direct data is inadequate.
    • It highlights the utility of geographic units and urbanization indices in demographic analysis for developing nations.
    • Further application in other countries with similar data limitations is recommended.
