Análisis de los factores que inciden en la disminución de la mortalidad infantil de niños de cero a cinco años en los países que hacen parte de la Alianza del Pacífico período (2005-2015).

Abstract

The agreement to comply with the so-called Millennium Development Goals and the entry of Colombia into the Pacific Alliance together with Chile, Mexico and Peru; become the key elements for the development of this document that proposes to analyze the effects of the creation of this alliance in the reduction of infant mortality of children between zero and five years. This will be done through a panel data analysis for the four countries mentioned, having as an exogenous variable the infant mortality of children between 0 and 5 years old (one of the millennium objectives) and as explanatory variables some of the macroeconomic and social elements of the four countries as they are: the Gross Domestic Product GDP, the Public Social Expenditure, the Real Average Salary, the percentage of women in the Economically Active Population, the Prevalence of malnutrition and the income of the countries in the Pacific Alliance. Finally, recommendations and policy conclusions for Colombia are presented that allow the reduction of infant mortality within the framework of the variables analyzed and the signing of new trade agreements.
