the number of children who die before the age of one year, per thousand live births (NOT per thousand population). The IMR in Canada is 6 per thousand births, one of the lowest in the world. (In the US, without medicare, the figure is 8). In some third world countries the IMR is over 100, which means that 10% of all babies will die before age 1.
