Outlining Themes and Identifying Theories

Outlining Themes and Identifying Theories Name Institution Outlining Themes and Identifying Common Themes * Stability of Infant Mortality in Developed Countries Infant mortality rates tend to be stable in developed nations as supported by various ideas. STABLE INCOME PER CAPITA The level of income on every individual in a developed nation is relatively high. Also, the development in such nations has relatively remained stable over the years. The stable development and per capita income have enabled the nations to experience a reduction in infant mortality rate over the years. * Slow Progress in Stabilizing Infant Mortality Rate in Marginalized Nations LOW DEMOCRACY Marginalized nations have shown low rates of democracy over the years. The countries have corrupt government systems that do not utilize their resources effectively. For instance, resources are distributed to improve the health care system but those who are authorized to implement the projects are corrupt. Therefore, the nations will have poor health facilities and low level of income which affect the neonatal mortality rates. * Determinants of Infant Mortality DISPARITIES IN REGIONAL AND SOCIECONOMIC FACTORS The social and economic inequality of different countries is one of the factors that explain the variation in the infant mortality rates. Some of the factors include poverty and income levels in different nations (Sengupta, Giri & Mohapatra, 2017). Moreover, the location of a nation will determine the level of infant mortality. Some nations are prevalent to diseases that will likely improve neonatal mortality rates. For instance, a nation with high level of malaria cases will experience improved infant mortality rates. Common Theories * Mosley-Chen Model The theory stipulates that two nations can have the same per capita income but different mortality rates. The concept is supported by how the government distributes its wealth. DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH The gov...
