High infant mortality rate is associated with poverty and poor health care.

It suggests its development is poor if its low but if its making gradual progress so is the development and health.
it does have allot of primary and secondary jobs. also the infant mortality and death rates are very low
Birth defects are the leading causes of infant mortality. Other leading causes include premature birth, low birth weight, SIDS, accidental injury, circulatory diseases, and complications during pregnancy.
Fertility rates are often inversely related to infant mortality rates; when infant mortality rates are high, families may choose to have more children to ensure that some survive to adulthood. Conversely, in societies where infant mortality rates are low, families may opt for fewer children, as the likelihood of their survival increases. Additionally, improved healthcare and living conditions that reduce infant mortality can lead to a decline in fertility rates as parents feel more secure in the survival of their offspring. This dynamic reflects broader social and economic changes that accompany shifts in both fertility and mortality rates.
High cost of living and low infant mortality rates are the main causes of underpopulation in Singapore.
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.
Life expectancy was low in 1900 due to high infant mortality rates, limited medical advancements, lack of access to clean water and sanitation, prevalence of infectious diseases, poor living conditions, and limited availability of healthcare services. These factors contributed to higher mortality rates across all age groups, resulting in the overall low life expectancy.
the characteristics of a underdeveloped nation is that they have a higher infant mortality,a low gdp (per ca-pita), and a bad economi.
