Since 1990, the mortality rate for children and youth aged 5-24 dropped by 47 per cent from 31 deaths per 1,000 children aged 5 to 16 deaths in 2022, while adolescent mortality ...
The report reveals that more children are surviving today than ever before, with the global under-5 mortality rate declining by 51 per cent since 2000. And several low- and lower-middle-income countries have outpaced this decline. UNICEF’s Frontier Data Network: Harnessing the Power of Data for Children.
