Child mortality in Mexico1890-2020
The child mortality rate in Mexico, for children under the age of five, was 487 deaths per thousand births in 1890. This means that roughly half of all children born in 1890 did not make it to their fifth birthday (the number did rise above fifty percent in 1895). Since the turn of the twentieth century, the child mortality rate in Mexico has fallen during each five year interval, and is expected to be sixteen deaths per thousand births in 2020.
