Socio economic determinants of inequalities in infant and early childhood mortality

Considerable progress has been achieved on child survival during the last decades. A child born in Africa or Southern Asia in 2015 was about 25 percent more likely to celebrate his or her fifth birthday than a child born in those two regions in 1960. His or her chances of survival were even larger if he was born in Latin America, Asia or Europe. For example, a child born in Brazil or Myanmar in 2015 could expect to live 20 years longer than one born in those countries just 50 years ago (WHO, 2015a).
