Child Survival Chart
Deaths before age five per 1,000 live births worldwide since 1960 — the clearest good-news line in all of demography.
Under-five deaths have fallen from 182 per 1,000 live births in 1960 to about 34 in 2026, which makes a Generation Beta child roughly five times more likely to reach five than one born in 1960.
