• D. Infant Mortality Rate

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Infant Mortality Rate

Infant Mortality Rate

• Infant Mortality Rate is a vital indicator of a country's healthcare system, it is not one of the three specific dimensions used to calculate the Human Development Index (HDI).

• The HDI was developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to measure "development" beyond just economic growth.

• Infant Mortality Rate is more commonly used in other indices, such as the Physical Quality of Life Index (PQLI).
