    Adult female literacy is the most critical factor in reducing infant mortality globally. Improved access to drinking water and a lower percentage of the labor force in agriculture also contribute to lower infant mortality rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Global Health
    • Demography
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Infant mortality rates vary significantly across developed and developing nations.
    • Socioeconomic and environmental factors are known to influence infant health outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify key social and environmental determinants of infant mortality.
    • To analyze the relative importance of factors like water access, female literacy, and agricultural labor force participation.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized data from the Population Reference Bureau's World's Children Wall Chart.
    • Cross-national analysis comparing developing and developed countries.

    Main Results:

    • Access to drinking water supply is a significant factor in reducing infant mortality.

  • Adult female literacy and the percentage of the labor force in agriculture are more influential than water access alone.
  • Female literacy emerged as the most crucial factor, independent of a country's development status.

    • Conclusions:

    • Prioritizing adult female education is paramount for global infant mortality reduction strategies.
    • Comprehensive approaches considering literacy, water access, and economic structure are necessary for improving infant survival rates.
