World Poverty by the Numbers

 

Infant Mortality

 

Infant Mortality Rate gives the number of deaths of infants under one year old per 1,000 live births in the same year. This rate is often used as an indicator of the level of health in a country.  [The percentages in the third column were appended to represent the second-column numbers as percentages.]
