  • Data represents the total number of deaths of children (under 5 years old) by life stage.

    This is split into three categories:

    - the first 28 days of life;

    - 29 days to 1 year;

    - 1-4 years.

    This was calculated by Our World in Data based on data on neonatal, infant and under-5 deaths published by the World Bank (based on the UN IGME).

    - The first 28 days of life are equally to neonatal deaths;

    - 29 days to 1 year are calculated as infant minus neonatal deaths;

    - 1-4 years calculated as under-5s minus infant deaths.
