How this figure is calculated
Number of neonatal, infant and child deaths divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Number of neonatal, infant and child deaths ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Number of neonatal, infant and child deaths United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (2025) – processed by Our World in Data
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
