Answer 1

Infant Mortality rate (IMR) refers to the numbers of infants who die before reaching one year of age per 1000 live births per year.

Therefore, usually in most developed countries, there is a low infant mortality rate due to advanced medical medical care. With low infant mortality rate, there would usually be high population but this is not the case for developed countries. There is a decreasing low population beacuse people prioritise material gains and posessions over childresn as society becomes more affluent etc.

In less developed countries, there is usually high infant mortality rate because they have little or no access to medical care or poor transportation. However, there is usually a high population growth because children are seen as labours or there is religious or cultural beliefs against contraceptives or abortion.

However, IMR in MDCs and LDCs have generally decreased because authorities have taken preventive measures.

Answer 2

Generally, the more developed the country, the lower the mortality rate. GDP is not always the best indicator because some countries (such as the UAE) have a high GDP because of their oil, but high mortality rates. For more national statistics, visit: https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/

Answer 3

GDP is generally a good indicator of how advanced a country might be, with more advanced countries having lower infant mortality rates than undeveloped countries. But don't overlook the history, population, and geography as other factors.
