Under-5 Mortality, per Thousand

Under-5 Mortality per 1000 births

Source: Last Updated Date

The under-5 mortality, or child mortality, rate is the amount of children that die before five years of age from all causes. The number reported is expected to be low, since in poor areas families cannot always afford to register their babies in the government registry. The data is published annually by the WHO and World Bank.
