Infant mortality rate (under one year old) in New Zealand from 1865 to 2020*

The infant mortality rate in New Zealand, for children under the age of one year old, was 106 deaths per thousand births in 1865. This means that for all babies born in 1865, more than one tenth did not survive past their first birthday. Over the course of the next 155 years, this number dropped to just four deaths per thousand births in the period between 2015 and 2020.
