- W2991574003 abstract "Background: Low birth weight (LBW) occurrence has steadily risen in Ethiopia over the last five years, from 11% in 2011 to around 13% currently. Understanding the socio-economic gradient involved in LBW occurrence is vital to plan equitable strategies to help eliminate unjust inequalities in LBW between the poor and rich.Objective: The study aims to investigate socioeconomic inequalities in LBW occurrence between poor and rich individuals in Ethiopia.Method: The dataset for the analysis came from the 2016 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey. The prepared version of the dataset was transferred to RStudio software for analysis. Socio-economic inequalities in the occurrence of LBW were measured through the computation of a concentration index using the ‘decomp’ package. Decomposition analysis was done to evaluate the percentage contributions of the explanatory variables to the observed inequalities in LBW. Result: LBW appeared to be slightly concentrated among poorer families. The disparity in LBW along the socio-economic spectrum was mainly accounted for by differences in ethnicities. Conclusion and recommendation: LBW was concentrated among the poor in the studied population. The observed disparity in the distribution of LBW across wealth categories was majorly attributed to the uneven distribution of LBW-reducing strategies among ethnicities. Equitable strategies that can function well in all ethnic groups are recommended to end the poor-rich inequality in the prevalence of LBW. Keywords: Low Birth Weight; socio-economic inequality; Ethiopia" @default.
