Goal 4: Reduce by Two Thirds, the Under 5 Mortality Rate

Hotspots of Infant Mortality Question to Consider:
1.  Are all the worst countries for this indicator in the same region?

Goal 4: Reduce by Two Thirds, the Under 5 Mortality Rate

Hotspots of Child Death rate (0-1 year) per 1,000 live births Questions to Consider:
1.  Is there a geographical correlation between the countries that improved the least?
2.  What is the geographical correlation and why do you think it is?

Can I correlate child mortality with immunization?

Goal 4: Reduce by Two Thirds, the Under 5 Mortality Rate

Hotspots of Child Death rate (0-1 year) per 1,000 live births

Percentage of Children 1 year old Immunized Against Measles

Questions to Consider:
1.  Is there a correlation between child mortality and measles immunization?
2.  What is the correlation and why do you think it is?

How has the percentage of children under 5 immunized against measles changed since year 2000?

Goal 4: Reduce by Two Third, the Under 5 Mortality Rate

1:Which country improved the most since the year 2000? Why was it able to improve this much?
2:Many countries were still not able to improve, what are some possible solution to this problem?

What are the 15 best and 15 worst countries with children under 5 immunized against measles?

Goal 4:Reduce by Two Third, the Under 5 Mortality Rate

1:What are some similarity between the 15 best countries? What are some similarity between the 15 worst countries?
 2: As we know, the 15 worst countries have received lots of support from the United Nation, where as the 15 best barely receives any. Why were most of the 15 worst still not able to improve much?

Is the children under 5 immunized against measles of the worst 15 countries a regional issue?

Goal 4: Reduce by Two Thirds, the Under 5 Mortality Rate.

1: Are these worst 15 countries in the same region? If yes, what are some possibilities of them being in the same region? If no, why?

Is the percentage of infants that are immunized against measles a regional issue?

Child Mortality

Clearly, my issue is a regional issue. In 2000, the 15 hotspots were all around Central Africa, with the exception of 2 outliers. In 2011, the 15 hotspots were still mostly in Central Africa, with 5 outliers. Further, this suggests, that the percentage of infants immunised against measles is still a regional issue. This correlates with the infant mortality rate, since many infants die of measles because they aren’t immunised against it. Not surprisingly, the hotspots of infant mortality are around the same area, so Central Africa, as the hotspots of infants immunised against measles. Indeed, this shows, that the infant mortality, is a regional issue as well. The 15 hotspots for both indicators, are many of the same countries, this proves that the infant immunisation against measles is really important and that it is clearly a regional issue.
