Therefore, this figure is NOT a sum of the threecategories.5.5 Infertility and ChildlessnessInfertility is a medical condition which cannot be easily established. However, theUgandan society is characterized by early and almost universal marriage as well ashigh fertility. Therefore, having had no children at the end of ones reproductive life isunlikely to be voluntary and is taken as a proxy for infertility. A difficulty in thisapproach is raised by those women who lose children at very young ages and reportthemselves childless.Figure 5.6 shows that about five per cent of the women aged 45 – 49 years (hence at6 percent ofthe old womenwere infertilethe end of their reproductive life) had never given birth. This compares to 6 percent ofwomen in the 50-54 age group that were childless, which could suggest thatchildlessness is declining over the years.The level of childlessness in a normal population is taken to be between 2 and 4percent 4 . Although the level of childlessness in Uganda is slightly higher than normal,it is neither large nor alarming. Even if reduced, it is unlikely to have substantial effecton the level of fertility.4 Shryock H.S and Siegel J.S, The Methods and Materials of Demography Condensed Edition50

Infant and childhood mortality is highlysensitive to the socio-economic changes in the country. Therefore, studying levels ofmortality provides an indirect measure of the welfare of a given population. Themortality indicators (Infant Mortality Rate, Maternal Mortality Rate, Life Expectancy atBirth and Under five Mortality Rate) are part of those indicators being monitored by thePEAP and the MDGs.5.6.1 Data Quality and Estimation ProceduresThere are several measures that are used in measuring the mortality situation. Theseinclude the Crude Death Rate, Infant and Childhood Mortality Rates and the LifeExpectancy at Birth. The 2002 Census collected information on deaths in the 12months prior to the census, which gives a direct estimate of the recent mortalityexperience of the country. According to the results, a total of 332,000 deaths were51
