Child mortality in Afghanistan 1800-2020

The child mortality rate in Afghanistan (for children under the age of five) was around 475 deaths per 1000 births during the course of 19th century. Given as a percentage, this means that 47.5% of children born would not make it to their 5th birthday. After 1950, the child morality rate dropped significantly due to considerable medical advancements, falling to 68 deaths per thousand in 2020. Despite this considerable decline in recent decades, Afghanistan still has one of the highest child mortality rates in the world. Afghanistan's infant mortality rate (among those aged below one year) in 2020 is 52 deaths per thousand births, meaning that the majority of child deaths occur during infancy.

阿富汗在19世纪期间，五岁以下儿童的死亡率约为每千名出生婴儿中有475人死亡。以百分比表示，这意味着出生的儿童中有47.5%无法活到五岁。自1950年后，得益于医学的显著进步，儿童死亡率显著下降，至2020年降至每千名婴儿中有68人死亡。尽管在近年来的几十年间死亡率有显著下降，阿富汗的世界儿童死亡率仍然位居前列。2020年，阿富汗的婴儿死亡率（一岁以下婴儿的死亡率）为每千名出生婴儿中有52人死亡，意味着大多数儿童死亡发生在婴儿期。
