Link Between Fertility and Economic Growth?

Now we look at a correlation between the two factors to see if they have an effect on each other in each individual country.

Looking at the most recent graph of date we see that countries with higher GDP per capita generally had lower rates of children dying. This makes sense becasue the more money each person has the more medicine they can buy and the more doctors they can see.

When comparing children fertility to another variable, that being the number of Malaria cases said to have broken out, we  see that maybe there is another factor that plays a role in more children dying. Looking at the most recent data you see that countries with more cases of Malaria outbreaks general had a higher rate of children deaths.

When GDP per capita is used as the dependent variable we see that Malaria had a greater effect on a countries GDP per capita and was a more prevalent issue in the poor countries.

Final analysis:
In seems that the issue with child fertility lies within the health issues a country faces. Whether that be malaria, HIV, or cancer these diseases have a negative effect on the fertility rate of children. GDP per capita explains however,  that if a country is wealthy enough these issues can be lessened by establishing a good health care system that people in the country can afford. More money means, better health, which mean longer lives.
