Indicator 3.2.1: Mortality rate, under five years of age
By 2030, the goal is to bring under 5 mortality to at least 25 deaths per 1,000 live births. Nepal has been making steady progress.
In 1977, just over four decades ago, 226 newborns out of every 1,000 babies died before reaching the age five in Nepal. In 2017, that rate dropped to 33. That’s remarkable.
For a global perspective look at the mortality rate, under five years of age, in 2017 in other countries in the map below. Hover your mouse on any country to see the rate. In the next slide, let's look at the mortality rate, under five in Provinces of Nepal.
"Under-five mortality rate is the probability per 1,000 that a newborn baby will die before reaching age five, if subject to age-specific mortality rates of the specified year." - World Bank Data
