There is variation of child mortality around the world ; countries that are in the second or third stage of the Demographic Transition Mode (DTM) have higher rates of child mortality than countries in the fourth or fifth state of the DTM . Chad infant mortality is about 96 per 1,000 live births . And developed country such as Japan infant mortality is about 2.2 per 1,000 live births  . In 2010, there were estimated to 7.6 million child deaths around the world and most of it occurred in less developed countries and 4.7 million died from infection and disorder. Child mortality is not only caused by infection and disorder , it is also caused by premature birth , birth defect, new born infection , birth complication, and diseases like malaria, sepsis, and diarrhea. In less developed countries, malnutrition is the main source of child mortality. Pneumonia, diarrhea  and malaria together are the cause of 1 out of every 3 child deaths before the age of 5 and nearly half of under-five deaths globally are attributable to under nutrition .
