Answer:
Under-5 mortality rate is a leading indicator of the level of child health and overall development in countries. ... Between 1990 and 2008, the number of children in developing countries who died before they reached the age of five dropped from 100 to 72 deaths per 1,000 live births
Lower (or higher) mortality might induce lower (or higher) fertility, but it is well established that higher birth rates lead to higher infant and child mortality. This higher mortality is related to the effect on infants and children of earlier weaning and reduced care from mothers.
