Q1.1 Childhood mortality and GPC per capita

Q1.2 Childhood mortality and Literacy

Q1.3 GPC per capita and Literacy

Answer 1

Child mortality and GPC per capita are linked. The higher the GRP per capita, the lower the child mortality because the more comfortable conditions children live in (housing, food, medicine, etc.)

2.Child mortality and literacy are not directly linked. However, as a rule, in countries where child mortality is lower, literacy is higher. This is related to the general standard of living in the country.

3.GPC per capita and literacy are linked. The higher the GPC, the higher the literacy of the population because people have access to various knowledge resources. There is an opportunity to get a better education.
