These were with a view to examining women’s participation in household decision-making and under-five mortality in Nigeria. The study used secondary data sourced from the 2013 Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). The NDHS is a nationally representative data which elicited information from 38,978 women aged 15-49 years across the thirty-six states and the Federal capital Territory (FCT) inclusive. A weighted sample size of 29,836 children delivered by 20,192 women aged 15-49 years within five years preceding the survey was obtained from the data and used for this study. Data were analysed using frequency distribution, Microsoft Excel for Windows, Chi-square and Cox proportional hazard model. Findings from the study indicated that, women’s participation in household decision-making significantly influences survival of children under age five in Nigeria (UHR= 0.81, p<0.01, Model I; AHR= 0.87, p<0.05, Model III). Also, fitting women’s participation and region in the model (Model II), to examine the influence of women’s participation on regional variation of under-five mortality in Nigeria, a significantly higher risk of under-five mortality was established for; North-east (AHR: 1.59), North-west (AHR: 1.75) and South-east (AHR: 1.44) regions. The study further revealed in line with previous studies that, children of mothers from the poorest and poor household, Hausa/Fulani/Kanuri ethnic group and rural settlement were at higher risk of under-five mortality. Moreso, the result of the study depicted higher risk of under-five mortality for children from mothers who had no formal education, children of Muslim mothers, those whose mothers attended less than 4 antenatal visits and did not have institutional delivery. Male children, children with birth interval of <24months, children with birth order 7+ and children with small size at birth were also reported to have higher risk of under-five mortality (p<0.05). The study concluded that, women’s participation in household decision-making significantly reduces the risk of under-five mortality in Nigeria. 2020-02-06T08:31:31Z 2020-02-06T08:31:31Z 2016 Thesis Olonitola, M.O.
