520			_aCountless infants, kids, and teens still die every year from cases like contagious illnesses and accidents that could be avoided or treated if only we took the time. These fatalities are a result of a lack of accessibility to fundamental health initiatives like vaccination, diagnosis, and therapy of communicable illnesses, sufficient food, safe drinking water, and cleanliness in these regions. Consequently, children and young adult high mortality are not only important barometers of children and young adult health, but also of broader societal and economic progres. The aim of this study was to examine the causes of variability in infant and child mortality in Nigeria, with a focus on demographic and economic factors. The study was descriptive in nature and used secondary data from the World Bank. The study findings showed that Nigeria has a comparatively high infant and child death rate. Furthermore, the Human Capital Index was found to affect rates of infant and child mortality. Additionally, the infant and child mortality rate was affected by the Gini index. Furthermore, the study found that infant and child mortality affects the literacy rate. Finally, the study found that infant and child mortality affects the employment-topopulation ratio. Thus, it is concluded that there is a significant issue with income inequality in Nigeria. It is important to invest in education, healthcare, and skill development. This can aid in reducing infant and child mortality.
