The Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite measure that assesses a country's overall development based on health, education, and income. A lower HDI often correlates with higher infant mortality rates, as poorer countries may lack access to quality healthcare, nutrition, and education. Conversely, nations with higher HDI typically experience lower infant mortality due to better healthcare systems, maternal education, and socioeconomic conditions. Thus, improving HDI can significantly contribute to reducing infant mortality.
It suggests its development is poor if its low but if its making gradual progress so is the development and health.
Infant Mortality Rate is the death rate during the 1st year of life. Child Mortality Rate refers to the death of infants and children under the age of five.
