Introduction
A nation’s infant mortality rate is a metric that represents the deaths of newborn children. A high infant mortality rate is often associated with malnutrition, poor healthcare, and poverty. Countries that have a high birth rate often also have a high infant mortality rate. A nation’s infant mortality rate is expressed in the number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births.
The methods by which countries attempt to lower their infant mortality rate are similar. Usually, nations will attempt to increase their gross domestic product (“GDP”) and increase their standards of living. This allows nations to raise revenue to modernize infrastructure and/or create healthcare technologies.
Luckily, infant mortality rates have been decreasing across the world.
