Unlike the U5MR, the infant mortality rate does not seperate the external causes that cause death among children and their mothers. However, the seperation may not be necessary. It appears that the two measures used in tandem produce the most reliable data. Further evaluation is required before a judgement is passed on the validity of the two forms of measurement. There is no country in the world without poverty and thus no reason for all nations not to heed the call to commit themselves to children in need.
