3.2.1 Under-5 mortality rate

3.2 By 2030, end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age, with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1,000 live births and under-5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1,000 live births

Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

The under-five mortality rate is the probability of dying before the fifth birthday.

The under-five mortality rate is the probability of a child born in a specific year or period dying before reaching the age of 5 years, if subject to age-specific mortality rates of that period, expressed as deaths per 1000 live births.

In MICS surveys, infant and under five mortality rates are usually calculated based on an indirect estimation technique known as the Brass method. The data used in the estimation are: the mean number of total children born for five year-age groups of women from age 15 to 49, and the proportion of these children who are dead, also for five-year age groups of women. The technique converts the proportion of dead children among women in each age group into probabilities of dying by taking into account the approximate length of exposure of children to the risk of dying, assuming a particular model age pattern of mortality. Based on previous information on mortality in Roma settlements in Serbia, the East model life table was selected as most appropriate.
