with the wealth status of the poorer category had 0.738 times the probability of experiencing neonatal
death compared to the poorest. Female worker mothers with wealth status in the middle category have a
probability of 0.702 times compared to the poorest to experience neonatal death. Meanwhile, the richest
female worker mothers had a probability of 0.662 times compared to the poorest to experience neonatal
death. Meanwhile, female worker mothers who made ANC visits ?4 times had a probability of 0.331 times
compared to female worker mothers who made ANC visits <4 times. It could be concluded that there were
2 factors which are the risk factors for neonatal death among female worker mothers in Indonesia, namely
