Countries ranked by Under-5 mortality (per 1,000 births)

How to read this number

The probability, per 1,000 live births, that a newborn baby will die before reaching age 5 if it were subject to the age-specific death rates of that year. Source: UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation.

Where records of births and deaths are incomplete, the figures are estimates built from household surveys and models, so small differences between countries are not reliable. Unlike infant mortality, which counts only the first year of life, this also counts children who die between ages 1 and 4.
