This rate is
problematic for those populations that are undergoing rapid changes in
birthrates. Keep in mind that the numerator will include some infants who
were born the previous year, and that some infants in the denominator will
die the following year. In populations where there is a stable birthrate, such differences would probably cancel out one another, but not in countries (or whatever political entity you use) where the population is going through rapid birthrate changes. |
