1) The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) compiled data for infant mortality rates (deaths of
children under 1 year of age per 1000 live births) in member countries.
2) Note that several countries, including the US, Canada, and Nordic countries, register very premature babies (with very low
chances of survival) as live births, which makes their mortality rates higher than countries who do not.
3) No data was collected for Korea and New Zealand.
4) Turkey has nearly 2.9% infant mortality.
5) Mexico has over 2% infant mortality.
6) Infant mortality in the US is approximately the same as Poland, Hungary, and the Slovak Republic.
7) US neighbor, Canada, has infant mortality 23% lower than the US.
8) Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Japan have infant mortality less than half that of the US.
9) Iceland has infant mortality about one-third that of the US.
