Machakos Project Studies: Agents affecting health of mother and child in a rural area of Kenya. XV. The economic setting at the household level. 1979

J B Kuné, and R Slooff, and T W Schulpen

In 1974 a household survey on economic conditions was carried out in about 80% of all households in the Machakos Project study area. This survey formed a part of an investigation into determinants of health and disease in children below five years of age. This paper deals with some background information, the field methodology employed, the construction of variables and the differences found between the eastern and western parts of the area in respect of some of these variables. The results are compared with those from in-depth sample studies carried out earlier.
