Recent trends in infant mortality in developed countries.
"This paper examines the progress of infant mortality in the primary developed countries after 1960.  A strong decrease of the phenomenon was measured everywhere although its intensity was independent of the starting levels.  The most rapid decline occurred in Japan and several countries in southern and northwestern Europe.  The slowest decline occurred in the Soviet Union.  In some countries, such as Romania, Czechoslovakia and the United States, short term fluctuations interposed themselves on the declining trend. The differences in mortality between the two sexes were generally reduced in those populations with low infant mortality, while the opposite happened in the case of most of the others."
