The study data set used originates from the demographic and health survey (DHS) conducted in Ethiopia 2005.The analysis was conducted using Cox proportional hazards model which analyses the effects of covariates on child mortality. The study shows that source of drinking water, birth order number, sex of child, breast feeding status, wealth index of household, father’s education, mother’s education and family size have significant contribute on child mortality.
