Synopsis

This book explores the socioeconomic and environmental elements that dictate infant mortality through a comparative examination of the urban, industrial heartland of the United States. The author analyzes infant mortality centered in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, through the lens of families, social situations, industries, and civic elements. This meticulously researched book shines a light on the systemic barriers impacting the lives of pregnant women and their children. Statistical analysis demonstrates the connection between the mortality of infants and substandard housing, lack of access to healthcare, exploitative working conditions, and environmental hazards. This work underscores the imperative for contemporary society to establish minimum standards for families, encompassing improved working conditions, and increased pay, so that parents can protect their infants within their households.
