All Arab countries are concerned with devising socioeconomic policies and programmers which would help to reduce levels of mortality. Conceptual analysis has suggested that socio-economic factors and mortality are linked by an intricate network of extremely complex relationship. Partly due to this complexity and partly due to lack of reliable data it was not feasible to precisely measure the direct and indirect effects of alternative socio-economic policies on mortality. The present stud analyses the relationships between levels of mortality as depicted by life expectancy at birth and infant mortality rate and 8 variables. Multiple regression analysis is used to determine the degree to which alternative combinations of these factors are associated with levels of mortality.
