I watched a video for a few minutes with Hans Rosling talking about many different factors of 'Big Data'. Linked below:

In one part of the video he talks about child survival and how there are large differences of child survival in neighboring countries for example, where Sri Lanka had a much higher child survival than the close neighboring country of Afghanistan.
He also continues to show how in the early 1960's China had a very low child survival rate but as Mao Tse-Tung came into power, he brought wealth to China so they gradually increased their child survival rate up until nowadays where China were in the same league as the elite countries, such as Sweden, U.S.A etc.
From looking at this small snippet of the video and thinking in a market view it can be seen that certain countries clearly market themselves better than others, which in turn creates wealth to the country, which therefore increases the child survival rate. This can be seen mostly in the example of China from 1960 onwards, because they've marketed their work and workers so well that many countries are now looking to do a lot of their business there; which inevitably has increased the standard of living and the child survival rate.
