Abstract

Several factors have attributed to the high child mortality rate, including poverty, age of women at birth, and length of the interval between births. Besides, the lack of financial resources in developing countries has been a challenge in addressing the prevalent high child mortality rate. Thus, this study seeks to examine the relationship between foreign aid and infant mortality in Nigeria from 1981 to 2018. Employing Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique, the study observed that foreign aid, government expenditure on health, real GDP, and carbon dioxide emission negatively impacted child mortality. Hence, the study concludes that foreign aid reduces child mortality in Nigeria. The study recommends that the government ensure that all foreign aid and grants use immediately to reduce child mortality by building the necessary infrastructure and making it readily available.JEL Classification: F35, I19.How to Cite:Adebanji, F.

尼日利亚的外援和儿童死亡率

造成儿童死亡率高的因素有几个，包括贫穷、妇女生育年龄和生育间隔时间长。此外，发展中国家缺乏财政资源对解决普遍存在的高儿童死亡率是一个挑战。因此，本研究旨在研究1981年至2018年尼日利亚外援与婴儿死亡率之间的关系。采用自回归分布滞后(ARDL)技术，该研究发现，外国援助、政府卫生支出、实际GDP和二氧化碳排放对儿童死亡率产生了负面影响。因此，该研究得出结论，外国援助降低了尼日利亚的儿童死亡率。该研究建议政府确保所有外国援助和赠款立即用于建设必要的基础设施，并使其易于使用，以降低儿童死亡率。JEL分类:F35, I19。如何引用:阿德班吉，F.
