BIRTH RATE MONITORING INFORMATION SYSTEM


ABSTRACT

Birth registration and monitoring is part of national civil registration systems that also record marriages and deaths. The aim of the study is to design and implement an Online Birth Rate Monitoring Information Record System. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out to develop an online system that can be easily used to register births and implement a system that can be used to obtain reports of birth rate. The motivation that led to the implementation of the proposed system is as a result of the difficulty encountered in determining the birth rate in different regions and time consumption during manual recording of birth rate information. The methodology adopted in this study is the structured system analysis and design methodology (SSADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL and JQUERY. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application. This project will enable management of the clinic to properly maintain record of birth registration and facilitate the easy presentation of reports pertaining to birth monitoring. This system when completed and implemented it will facilitate the easy presentation of reports pertaining to birth monitoring, and the enabling management of the clinic to properly maintain record of birth registration. The expected result is an Online Birth Rate Monitoring Information Record System that will process birth register and monitor birth rates of a particular region, and the system will generates an accurate reports of birth rate for decision making purpose.


CHAPTER ONE

1.1 Introduction

Registering a child’s birth is a critical first step towards safeguarding lifelong protection. Promoting children’s right to birth registration falls clearly within UNICEF’s mandate. There has been some progress, albeit small in raising birth registration levels. Between 2000 and 2010 global birth registration levels rose only slightly, from 58 per cent to 65 percent. Certain trends in the international environment provide opportunities for rethinking approaches to birth registration. Birth registration is the continuous, permanent and universal recording, within the civil registry, of the occurrence and characteristics of births in accordance with the legal requirements of a country. Birth registration is the official recording of a child’s birth by the State. It is a permanent and official record of a child’s existence. Birth registration is part of an effective civil registration system that acknowledges the person’s existence before the law establishes family ties and tracks the major events of an individual’s life, from live birth to marriage and death.

As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.


1.2 Background of Study

Birth registration is part of national civil registration systems that also record marriages and deaths. Civil registration provides the demographic data that are needed by governments to track the size, differentials and trends of their populations. When complete and accurate, civil registration facilitates democratic governance. It enables governments to develop policies and plans for basic service delivery and social and economic development that respond to the needs of different sectors of their populations. Through these mechanisms, civil registration facilitates the access of both children and adults to protection under the law, to services and entitlements and to social and economic opportunities, and can improve their ability to exercise their civil rights.

Although birth registration is almost complete in all developed countries, the lack of progress on civil registration in many developing countries means that global inequalities in birth registration are now extreme. The births of approximately 230 million children under the age of 5 have not been registered. Of these, around 85 million are in sub-Saharan Africa, 135 million in Asia (east and south Asia and the Pacific) and the remainder in the rest of the world. But does this matter in their lives? Birth registration may signify the beginning of the legal contract between the individual and the State known as citizenship. Birth registration serves as important proof of the place of birth and parentage, and while birth registration does not in itself confer citizenship upon the child, it is often essential for its acquisition based on each country’s laws. Birth registration may also be vital for confirmation of nationality following tumultuous events such as armed conflict and situations of state succession. The registration of births and acquisition of citizenship are distinct processes, however birth registration serves as important proof of the facts that form the basis for conferral of citizenship at birth.

More specifically it establishes a legal record of where the child was born and who his or her parents are and thus whether the child can acquire citizenship on the basis of place of birth (jus soli) or descent (jus sanguinis). Children who are not registered are excluded from the benefits of citizenship in ways that vary between countries. A birth certificate may be required to obtain access to basic services such as health and education, and it can also help to protect children from situations of exploitation and violence, such as child marriage and child labour, and achieve convictions against those who have abused a child.

In adulthood, birth certificates may be needed for many purposes: to obtain social security or a job in the formal sector; to buy or prove the right to inherit property; to obtain identity cards; to vote; and to obtain a passport. The lack of a birth certificate can have a serious, cumulative, negative effect on people’s life opportunities. As well as providing the individual with legal proof of identity, birth registration also plays a crucial role in the generation of vital statistics.

Due to the benefits that accrue from using the computer system, it can be applied to solve numerous problems. Birth rate monitoring cannot be manually achieved. An automated software system is needed to enable instant monitoring of birth rate. This is only possible when there is a web based or online system to register births. As the births are being registered, a bar chart can be used to determine the rate of birth in specific regions. To achieve this, computer programmers need to develop a software system that runs online. The benefit of the system is that it will enable those in charge of taking statistics of birth rate to get needed information easily and with minimal stress.


1.3 Statement of Problem

Investigation reveals the problems of the Online Birth Rate Monitoring Information Record System existing system:

  1. It is difficult to determine the birth rate in different regions.
  2. It is time consuming to manually record birth rate information.
  3. It is not easy to monitor the rate of birth based on birth registration records that are manually obtained.

1.4 Aim and Objectives of the Study

The aim of the study is to design and implement an Online Birth Rate Monitoring Information Record System. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows:

  1. To develop an online system that can be easily used to register births.
  2. To develop a system that can be utilized to monitor birth rates.
  3. To implement a system that can be used to obtain reports of birth rate
  4. To develop a system that will aid easy updating of birth registration records

1.5 Significance of Study

The study is significant in the following ways:

  1. It will enable management of the clinic to properly maintain record of birth registration.
  2. It will facilitate the easy presentation of reports pertaining to birth monitoring.
  3. The study will serve as a useful reference.

This study will be of immense benefit to other researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. This study contributes to knowledge and could serve as a guide for other study.
