About This Dataset

Countries with the Lowest Child Mortality 2024
The twenty countries with the lowest deaths under age five (per 1,000 births) in 2024, from World Bank figures for the 196 countries that reported that year. San Marino records the lowest figure at 1.30, with Estonia (2.00) and Luxembourg (2.20) next. Deaths before the fifth birthday per 1,000 live births. Where birth and death registration is incomplete the figure comes from surveys and modelling rather than from a full count.
Analysis

San Marino (1.30), Estonia (2.00) and Luxembourg (2.20) record the three lowest figures. Across the twenty shown, values run from 1.30 up to 3.20, a spread of 1.90. Estonia, the next country up, records 1.54 times the figure for San Marino. 13 of the 20 sit within double the lowest figure, 2.60 or less. The chart shows the twenty lowest of 196 reporting countries, so it describes the bottom of the distribution rather than the world average. Countries recorded as zero are left out: the World Bank writes zero where a country did not report.
