URBAN POOR
Oftentimes this ill health is manifested most fully within the most vulnerable populations, specifically women and children. Statistics for health of women and children within urban slums are depressingly low with:
A neonatal mortality rate of 48.8 per thousand (compared with national figures of 67.6 and 43.4 per thousand).
Low birth weight prevalence as high as 56% as compared to a rural incidence of 38.1%.
Data collected from 35 cities throughout India suggesting that slum populations have the worst dietary and nutritional profiles with only 13% of children having normal weight for age.
Only 36-39% of women used any modern method of family planning.
