Some recent studies suggest narrowly defined economic growth is the key to reducing the infant mortality rate. A host of new studies emerged in reaction to this assertion. These new studies emphasize the role of increased health expenditures in reducing infant mortality rates. Analyzing the infant mortality rate using cross-sectional data for provinces in Turkey, this paper first ranks provinces by their level of socioeconomic development, and then tests both linear and nonlinear regression models to explore the relationship between the infant mortality rate and the indicators of socioeconomic development. This paper contributes to the infant mortality literature by providing additional insights into the determinants of infant mortality using consistently measured cross-sectional data f...

WASHINGTON - Memphis and Shelby County's high rate of infant mortality was a focus of a Capitol Hill briefing Thursday that also looked at maternal mortality, preconception health and the budget pressures confronting public health programs. It was in part a reprise of a September 2009 event at the National Press Club where the documentary film "Crisis in the Crib" by Tonya Lewis Lee, Spike Lee's wife, made its Washington debut. Lee, who spoke at Thursday's event and heads up the "Healthy Baby Begins with You" campaign, looked at Shelby County's disproportionate rate of infant mortality in the film and now travels the country drawing attention to it.

The authors estimate the responsiveness of aid to recipient countries' economic and physical needs, civil/political rights, and government effectiveness. They look exclusively at the post-Cold War era and use fixed effects to control for the political, strategic, and other considerations of donors. They find that aid and per capita income have been negatively related, while aid has been positively related to infant mortality, rights, and government effectiveness.

Cuba's infant mortality rate was 5.3 per each 1,000 live births in 2006 and 2007, the lowest one in Latin America," [Jose Ramon Balaguer] said. "In Cuba 99.9 per cent of child births are institutional and assisted by physicians, reaching a direct mother mortality rate of 21 per each 1,000 live births, even though we are not satisfied with this result," he added. The Health Minister said that Cuba, "a small, poor and blockaded country has today over 36,000 health workers in 70 countries and is working to train for 10 years, 100,000 physicians from brother countries".
WASHINGTON - An amendment that could create a national pilot program on infant mortality in Memphis and 14 other high infant death rate-plagued areas was added Wednesday to the health care reform bill moving through a committee mark-up. The amendment, written by U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., is called the NEWBORN Act, which stands for Nationally Enhancing the Wellbeing of Babies through Outreach and Research Now. Memphis has the highest infant death rate in the country at five times the national rate.
This paper attempts to provide an economic analysis of fertility interrelationships using pooled cross-country data from the Middle East and North African region, 1982-2000. Regression results provide strong confirmation that family planning, urbanisation and female labour force participation rates are inversely related to fertility rates. Income, infant mortality rates and female education are found to have a strong positive correlation with fertility. The results of several variables are also consistent with the results obtained in earlier studies involving countries and regions other than the Middle East and North Africa. Some policy implications are drawn.
