About this ranking

Deaths of infants before their first birthday per 1,000 live births in the year.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the regions are compared on one definition. 10 regions with data in other periods have no value for 2019 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
