Abstract

Child mortality is an indicator of the health status of children and ultimately the population. This has economic implications through several relationships. One of such relationship is that between child mortality and female labour participation. Attempting to contribute to empirical works concerning the growing challenge of high child mortality and low female labour participation, this study examined the relationship between child mortality and female labour force participation in Nigeria. Employing a two-stage estimation method for a simultaneous equation model, a uni-directional and bi-directional relationship was obtained depending on the sector of labour force participation. The influence of education on this relationship is key. Women who work had reduced child death experience if they had at least a secondary education for the case of informal sector employment and a post secondary education for the case of formal sector employment.
