Infant Mortality

"Infant Mortality: Its Relation to Social and Industrial Conditions" by Henry Horace Hibbs, originally published in 1916, offers a comprehensive examination of the factors contributing to infant mortality rates during the early 20th century. This meticulously researched study delves into the intricate connections between infant mortality and the prevailing social and industrial landscapes of the time.

Hibbs explores how poverty, working conditions, sanitation, and access to healthcare influenced the survival rates of infants. By analyzing statistical data and drawing insightful conclusions, the book sheds light on the urgent need for social reforms and public health initiatives to address this critical issue. This historical account serves as a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of public health policies and the ongoing efforts to improve infant welfare.
