Under-5 mortality rate

Tier A· Official

Probability that a newborn dies before age five, per 1,000 live births — a core measure of child health.

100 = lowest under-5 mortality (best), 0 = highest

How this score is built

Under-5 mortality rate — deaths before age 5 per 1,000 live births — World Bank indicator SH.DYN.MORT (UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation: UNICEF, WHO, World Bank, UN DESA). Direction is higher_worse.

The distribution is skewed, so we normalize with percentile rank and invert: 100 = lowest under-5 mortality. The raw rate is shown. Most recent available year per country.
