What causes of infant mortality rate?
Infant mortality is how many children die before the age of 5. It is measured by Amount of children dying per 1000 people. A low infant mortality rate is common in more developed countries where health care and simple things such as diet are good. However a high infant mortality rate would be common in underdeveloped countries which have bad health care and food is hard to get hold of. Generally countries in Africa will have a high infant mortality rate as the countries are poorer. So a high/large infant mortality rate is basically a lot of children dying before the age of five per 1000 people.

How does GDP tend to affect life expectancy and infant mortality rate?
The more GDP the longer the life expectancy because more services like healthcare and hospitals are available so this means people can receive medication, therefore their diseases are cured, thus avoiding death. As fore infant mortality rate I'm not entirely sure but I think if there is more GDP then there should be reduction in the rate of infant mortality because perhaps the facilities/ services of healthcare will educate people about protection and such.

I assume you mean 'health'. Life expectancy in Iceland is among the highest in the world and the infant mortality rate is the lowest. So I think it's safe to say that the level of health in Iceland is very high.
