Link to HDI data: http://theopendata.com/site/2012/01/mumbai-human-development-report-2009/ 2 types of population are living within the slums –urban poor and urban non poor. A large amount of disparity occurs with respect to the socioeconomic status of the population living in the slums. According to the World Bank report, 2001, the poor have much higher levels of Mortality, malnutrition and fertility than the rich; the poor-rich risk ratio is 2.5 for infant mortality, 2.8 for under- five mortality, 1.7 for childhood underweight and 2 for total fertility rate The high concentration of slum population is considered as a representation for urban poor and also can be treated as a high concentration of deprived group in a society lacking basic needs of livelihood. As % of slum population decreases, the level of HDI increases. The Lower the level of HDI, the higher the infant death rate is mainly due to the issue of affordability to seek treatment from private hospitals.
