Foetal mortality and mortality during childhood in Spain, 1890 till 2004.
| Recent studies have pointed out the importance of stillbirth mortality and foetal mortality in general on childhood mortality and other demographic estimates during the demographic transition. Good example of these studies are those carried out by Robert Woods who has undertaken an analysis of the probability of surviving from conception till delivery, point out the importance of this period of life, many times neglected in the analysis in favour of other early mortality estimates, such us neonatal or infant mortality. Most of the studies regarding foetal mortality used data Northern European countries due to their quality and availability. In this case we will present data from a Southern European country, using different datasets, from aggregated data to individual level material from the City of Madrid, mostly from the period of time from 1890 till 1915. We will show the evolution of Foetal mortality in Spain during the XXth Century, and we will show some specific characteristics regarding foetal mortality in an urban environment.
