Abstract
Social class differences in childhood mortality up to the age of 16 years are studied in aNorthern Finland birth cohort of 12,000 children born in 1966. A clear social class difference is seen in infant mortality, but the discrepancy is only slight for the older age groups in terms of mortality from all causes. Social class differences are clearest in infectious and perinatal diseases. Mortality is found to be significantly higher among the children of farmers than among the rest in all age groups due to regional and sociocultural factors such as an excess of older mothers.
