Levels & Trends in Child Mortality 2018 Report
Summary
              Over the last two decades, the world made substantial progress in reducing mortality among children and young adolescents (including children under age 5, children aged 5−9 and young adolescents aged 10−14). Still, in 2017 alone, an estimated 6.3 million children and young adolescents died, mostly from preventable causes. Children under age 5 accounted for 5.4 million of these deaths, with 2.5 million deaths occurring in the first month of life, 1.6 million at age 1–11 months, and 1.3 million at age 1−4 years. An additional 0.9 million deaths occurred among children aged 5−14.
