The chapter describes among Nairobi residents showed that the proportion of Nairobi city-born residents is at most 20 percent for men and women of varying age groups and that half of the residents came to Nairobi between 17 and 23 years old. The Nairobi Urban Health and Demographic Surveillance System covers two slum settlements. Korogocho and Viwandani, in Nairobi City. Kenya. The chapter explains a Cox proportional hazards model to assess the effect of migration status of the mothers on childhood survival rates, after controlling for various demographic and socioeconomic factors. It explains rich longitudinal data collected from poor urban slum settlements in Nairobi City, Kenya, to assess the effect of the mother's migration status on childhood mortality. Data generated from the Health Demographic Surveillance System were appropriate to explore and assess risk factors associated with childhood mortality. Many studies have assessed the risk of infant and childhood mortality and associated risk factors.
