The authors analyze infant mortality in Cuba by municipality. The focus is on differentials in infant mortality and their causes, particularly the social and health conditions of the municipalities concerned. Multiple regression techniques and official data for 1981 are used to examine the relative impact on infant mortality of a variety of factors. A ranking of the 169 muncipalities with regard to infant mortality and the factors affecting it are presented in tabular form.
