Answer 1

Answer:

Infant mortality rate (IMR) is the number of deaths per 1,000 live births of children under one year of age. The rate for a given region is the number of children dying under one year of age, divided by the number of live births during the year, multiplied by 1,000.

Answer 2

Infant mortality rate basically estimates the ratio between the overall numerical incidence of deaths of children under the age of 1 and the present birth rate,which is calculated as present birth of 1000 new babies.

Explanation:

• Infant mortality rate basically compares the overall number or incidence death of kids under the age of 1 with every 1000 present birth of new babies.
• A higher infant mortality rate indicates higher rate of death among children under the age of 1 compared to the new births at present time.
• Some of the most common attributes or reasons of high infant mortality rate can be higher incidence of disease among small kids or children,undernourishment and nutritional problems or issues of small kids,higher birth related intricacies,complications of fetus umbilical in mothers, lack of proper public infrastructure such as adequate medical/health services and facilities,lack of education and literacy among parents and so forth.
• The aforementioned attributes of high infant mortality rate are widely prevalent in many underdeveloped and developing countries around the world.
