“…Furthermore, educated women were more likely to register their children's births. This fi nding is consistent with several other studies conducted in low-and middle-income countries (Nascimento et al 2015;Nomura et al 2018;Wodon/Yedan 2019). Mothers' education may also infl uence childbirth registration in several ways.…”

“…Various structural and contextual factors determine birth registration completeness. Household wealth status, maternal education, marital status, the child's sex, age, health-care provider, ownership of a radio or mobile phone, region of residence, religion and women's autonomy are among the predictors of birth registration (Abay/Gebre-Egziabher 2020;Candia 2019;Garenne et al 2016;Isara/Atimati 2015;Juma et al 2016;Kumari 2019;Makinde et al 2016;Nascimento et al 2015;Wodon/Yedan 2019). In Ghana, birth registration is infl uenced by several socio-demographics including the child delivery place (Amo-Adjei/Annim 2015; Dake/Fuseini 2018).…”

Childbirth registration in Zimbabwe has decreased over the years, yet the risk factors associated with this incompleteness have not been explored. This study investigates the trends in birth registration completeness and factors associated with the decrease in birth registration among children aged 0-5 years from 2005-2015. We use data from the, 2005-06, 2010-11 and 2015 Zimbabwe Demographic and Health Survey. Trends in birth registration completeness based on survey year were calculated and multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the predictors of birth registration. Birth registration completeness was 75.4 percent, 47.3 percent, and 43.8 percent in 2005, 2010, and 2015, respectively. Inequities in birth registration completeness become apparent when examined by wealth, urban/rural location, geographical region, maternal education, healthcare utilisation, and marital status. Child age, maternal education, marital status, household wealth status, residence, province, and delivery place were significant predictors of birth registration. Efforts to improve birth registration in Zimbabwe should target children born at home, children born to single and young mothers, and children whose mothers are poor and reside in rural areas.
