1. Introduction
Child mortality, often known as the under-five mortality rate, is the likelihood
that a child would pass away before reaching the age of exactly five, represented
as a ratio of 1 death for every 1,000 live births. And the rate of fatality of
infants, when subject to age-specific death rates for that time period, is the
likelihood that a child born in a certain year or period will pass away before
turning one. Instead of being expressed as a rate, infant mortality rate is really a
likelihood of death calculated from a life table and expressed as a rate per 1000
live births. The project discusses about the changes come in infant and child
mortality in the present year with comparison to previous years in England and
Wales (Ali, 2021). A brief study about the causes of neonatal and premature
deaths of babies and by understanding the conditions, developed strategies for
reducing these neonatal deaths in context with the contribution of government.
2. Objectives
The project has the objective to know the mortality rates in the England and Wales in
recent years and analyse the changes comes in it due to inequalities prevailing in the
society. The topic helps to communicate the groups about the social conditions of the UK
and how government is contributing towards the society to overcome this problem
(Bartickand Feldman-Winter, 2018). This study focuses on providing solutions to this
problem and how a person can contribute in reducing this problem by taking some
measures.
3. Group Involvement
Everyone collaborated as a team to gather trustworthy information that would be utilised
for specific analyses. After finishing the study, we decided who would be in charge of
each component of the group project. The aim of the project is to understand the causes of
death and inequalities due to which death occur and analyse the 2018 data with previous
