You understood what I am saying and have also summarized it.
"child mortality is going down only because women are having fewer children and not because of improvements in healthcare"
There might be improvements in healthcare, antibiotics and vaccinations. But I believe that contraception is a major factor in improving child mortality rate. Obviously I cannot cite anything, as it's my belief.
So I started looking for examples to see if I am correct. Looks like my belief is wrong.
Despite a higher prevalence of several risk factors for perinatal and infant death among the Amish, neonatal and infant death rates for Geauga Settlement Amish have been very similar to the corresponding rates for white children in rural Ohio and the state as a whole.
