Africa's rate (88) is ten times higher than average rate (8) for the developed countries. Within Africa the highest level of infant mortality rate in the world are experienced with rate as high as 157 in Sierra-Leone. On average the rate of Asia (56) is some what lower than for Africa but some Asian countries such as Afghanistan have rates (150) as high as any where in the world. On the other hand Hong Kong's rate (3.2) is very low, illustrating that the most variation in infant level occurs in Asia. Both Europe and North America (the U.S.A, Canada) have low levels of infant mortality rate, with average rates well under ten. However European variation is not inconsequential; rates in at least some parts of Eastern Europe are nearly ten times higher than in Northern European countries such as Iceland and Sweden.
