Abstract

Child mortality was one indicator of Sustainable Development Goals. Each country has to measure the rate of child mortality to know the child health situation. In this research, the researcher calculated indirect child mortality using Indonesian census data in 2010. Children's mortality can be calculated based on children's information ever born and children surviving. The estimation of children's mortality can be calculated using the indirect estimation method. The indirect estimation method used Brass Method, which has five steps to estimate child mortality. The five steps include calculation of average parity per woman, calculation of the proportion of children dying for each age group of mothers, calculation of multipliers, calculation of probabilities of dying and of surviving, and calculation of reference period. The analysis revealed that the probability of children's death increased with the increasing age of the mother. The probability of children surviving decreases with the rising age of the mother. Increasing the mother's age will increase the number of children ever born. The probability of dying in children increases with the increasing age mother group. The probability of surviving children tends to be decreased with the increase in the mother age group. The high number of children born to older mothers was related to breastfeeding duration and exclusive breastfeeding. Children who did not receive breastfeeding exclusively will risk dying due to infection. The Indonesian Government needs to improve its health services for pregnant older women to prevent child mortality.
