In some countries many children don’t survive their first year of life. How would this most likely be reflected in their health statistics?

Question

This would be included in the birth rate
This would be included in the infertility rate
This would be included in the infant mortality rate
This would be included in the life expectancy

Answer 1

This would most likely be reflected in the infant mortality rate. The infant mortality rate measures the number of infants who die before reaching one year of age per 1,000 live births in a given year. High infant mortality rates indicate that many children do not survive their first year of life.
