Objective: Study the influences of socio-demographic and social context risk factors on labor force aged mortality from communicable disease. Material and Method: A sample of 28,298 individuals were used to build a piece-wise exponential hazard model. Investigation of the cause of death used "verbal autopsy". Result: It was found that more males are likely to die than females (Exp. = 1.54, S.E. = 0.19). Mortality risk for those who work is lower than for the jobless while mortality risk for laborers is greater than for the jobless (Exp. = 2.80, S.E. = 0.54). Migrants are more likely to die than those who have not migrated (Exp. = 12.68, S.E. = 0.22). People who live in households with debt are more likely to die than those who live in debt-free households (Exp. = 1.21, S.E. = 0.17). Environmental problems and drinking water quality have significant positive relationship with death due to communicable disease. Conclusion: A health prevention plan for individual, household, and community level for this labor force aged population needs to be provided.
