The Infant Mortality Rate is the annual number of deaths among infants under one year of age per 1,000 live births in a population.

Explanation:

Child mortality rate is one of the indicators that most commonly is taken into account when studying the living conditions of a country. This rate serves as a measure to evaluate other social dimensions, like the economy, and the quality of the services that it provides to its residents, such as health care and prenatal care. It also shows the access that people have to resources such as drinking water, food and hygiene.
