The world made remarkable progress in child survival in the past three decades, and millions of children have better survival chances than in 1990—1 in 27 children died before reaching age five in 2022, compared to 1 in 11 in 1990. However, progress in reducing under-five mortality has slowed in the first half of the SDG era (2015–2022) compared to what was achieved in the MDG era (2000–2015). Globally, the annual rate of reduction in under-five mortality decreased from 3.8 per cent in ...

on national-level child, adolescent and youth mortality in 2020. Following analysis of these data and recommendations from its Technical Advisory Group, the UN IGME has not adjusted the 2020 rate for COVID-19-related mortality (see ‘Box: COVID-19 and Child and Youth Mortality in 2020’ on p. 6 for more details). The estimates
Dec 20, 2021 · The available evidence indicates the direct impact of COVID-19 on child, adolescent and youth mortality to be limited. However, there is concern that the indirect effects of the pandemic on mortality in these age groups stemming from strained health systems, household income loss, and disruptions to care-seeking and preventative interventions like vaccination may be more substantial.
Globally, the risk of dying at any age from age 5 to 24 is lower than for children under 5 years of age. The probability of dying among children and youth aged 5–24 years was 16 deaths per 1,000 children aged 5 years in 2022. This is less than half of the level of the under-five mortality rate, even though the exposure to the risk of dying is four times as long in the 5–24 age group. Still, an estimated 2.1 million children and youth in this age group died in 2022 alone—43 per cent of ...
Maternal mortality declined by 34 per cent between 2000 and 2020 Maternal mortality refers to deaths due to complications from pregnancy or childbirth. From 2000 to 2020, the global maternal mortality ratio (MMR) declined by 34 per cent – from 339 deaths to 223 deaths per 100,000 live births, according to UN inter-agency estimates. This translates into an average annual rate of reduction of 2.1 per cent. While substantive, this is about one third of the 6.4 per cent annual rate needed to ...
