The first 28 days of life – the neonatal period – is the most vulnerable time for a child’s survival. Children face the highest risk of dying in their first month of life at an average global rate of 17 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2022, down by 53 per cent from 37 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1990. In comparison, the probability of dying after the first month and before reaching age 1 was estimated at 11 deaths per 1,000 and the probability of dying after reaching age 1 and ...
Neonatal mortality is on the decline globally with the world’s neonatal mortality rate falling from 37 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 18 per 1,000 live births in 2021. The result is a drop in neonatal deaths worldwide from 5.2 million in 1990 to 2.3 million in 2021.

Sep 8, 2020 · More than 5 million children died before reaching age 5, and nearly half of those deaths were among newborns (birth to 28 days of age). The latest Levels and Trends in Child Mortality: Report 2020 from UNICEF and partners in the UN Inter-Agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UN IGME), shows the full scope of child mortality rates across ...
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 ...
In countries as diverse as Costa Rica, Mali and Qatar, trained fieldwork teams conduct face-to-face interviews with household members on a variety of topics – focusing mainly on those issues that directly affect the lives of children and women. Key demographic indicators for South Africa: Under-Five Mortality Rate, Population.
to have a neonatal mortality rate of 12 or fewer deaths per 1,000 live births and an under-five mortality rate of 25 or fewer deaths per 1,000 live births by 2030. If these goals are to be met, the global community must double down on its efforts to ensure the most vulnerable children survive, wherever they are.
the global under-five mortality rate (U5MR) has declined by more than half. This notable achievement has been driven largely by sustained commitment on the part of governments, organizations, local communities, health care professionals and families. 2. The annual death toll among children, adolescents and youth remains unacceptably high.
