    Are you suggesting that the 40-hour work week has a causal connection with the infant morality rate?

      There’s an indirect one. The 40 hour week is the result of strikes from unions that are the result of factories which are the result of the industrial revolution which also led to improvements in medicine that massively reduced child mortality.
