Abstract
The objective of this paper is to use nationally representative rural household survey data
from Mozambique to investigate the effects of prime-age adult death from illness. The paper
also evaluates the characteristics of affected individuals and households, household
demographic changes and livelihood adjustment strategies taken in response to prime-age
(PA) death from illness. The paper then discusses the implications of these results for the
design of efforts to mitigate some of the key effects of rural adult mortality.
