List of countries by infant mortality rate

Figures are from the United Nations World Population Prospects report, by five years averages, and the CIA World Factbook.

The infant mortality rate (IMR) is the number of deaths of infants under one year old per 1,000 live births. This rate is often used as an indicator of the level of health in a country. The infant mortality rate of the world is 49.4 according to the United Nations and 42.09 according to the CIA World Factbook. The under-5 mortality rate of the world is 43 deaths per 1,000 according to the World Health Organization.

Note that due to differences in reporting, these numbers may not be comparable across countries; while the WHO recommendation is that all children who show signs of life should be recorded as live births, in many countries this standard is not followed, artificially lowering their infant mortality rates relative to countries which follow those standards.

Note: The last column in both tables enables interactive links between the tables - also the tables can be variously sorted using the icon.

The following is a list of OECD countries by under-five mortality rate per 1000 live births as published by the WHO in 2015.
