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.
Child mortality is the rate of child deaths during a period of time. Some periods in history had high child mortality rates, such as the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
Infant mortality accounts for a significant portion of overall child mortality, often ranging from 40% to 50% depending on the region and specific demographics. This high percentage is largely due to the vulnerability of infants in their first year of life, where factors such as prematurity, congenital conditions, and infectious diseases can lead to higher mortality rates. Addressing infant mortality is crucial for reducing overall child mortality rates.
An infant is that period between birth and when the infant is able to sit/stand up with help. A child is a broader term that includes the infant period till it is able to perform activities without help.
