| Περίληψη: | In the modern world, the phenomenon of economic inequality between citizens in a state is increasingly observed. This situation appears with different intensity in each country depending on its economic and social background and the organization it has as a welfare state. It is characteristic that the negative effects of the phenomenon are faced also by developed countries such as the USA, Canada, Germany, Japan, etc. Research has shown that social and economic inequalities also have a significant effect on a country's child and infant mortality rate. This fact highlights the need for further study of the phenomenon and the coordinated effort that must be made by the states to eliminate it.
Based on the above, we used data from 36 developing countries for the year 2010, in order to check whether the significant effect of economic inequalities on infant and child mortality rates is confirmed. In our sample we have a list of developing countries to examine. The simple and multiple linear regression models were used for the analysis of our data. We have selected key economic variables as independent variables that are widely used in similar analyzes, coming up with interesting conclusions about the phenomenon.
