In 2023, the infant mortality rate in Norway did not change in comparison to the previous year. The infant mortality rate remained at 1.9 deaths per 1,000 live births. The infant mortality rate refers to the number of infants who do not survive past the first year of life, expressed as a value per 1,000 births.Find more statistics on other topics about Norway with key insights such as total fertility rate, total life expectancy at birth, and death rate.

Graph and download economic data for Infant Mortality Rate for Norway (SPDYNIMRTINNOR) from 1960 to 2023 about mortality, infant, Norway, and rate.

Infant mortality rate of Norway remained constant at 1.9 deaths per thousand live births over the last 3 years. Infant mortality rate is the number of infants dying before reaching one year of age, per 1,000 live births in a given year.

The infant mortality rate in Norway, for children under the age of one year old, was over 140 deaths per thousand births in 1840. This means that for all babies born in 1840, roughly 14 percent did not survive past their first birthday. This rate fluctuated over the next sixty years, falling to just under one hundred deaths per thousand births at the turn of the twentieth century. From 1900 onwards, Norway's infant mortality rate dropped further and is today one of the lowest rates in the world. Roughly 99.8% of all babies lived past their first birthday in the period between 2015 and 2020.

Norway NO: Mortality Rate: Infant: per 1000 Live Births data was reported at 2.100 Ratio in 2016. This records a decrease from the previous number of 2.200 Ratio for 2015. Norway NO: Mortality Rate: Infant: per 1000 Live Births data is updated yearly, averaging 7.900 Ratio from Dec 1960 (Median) to 2016, with 57 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 18.400 Ratio in 1960 and a record low of 2.100 Ratio in 2016. Norway NO: Mortality Rate: Infant: per 1000 Live Births data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Norway – Table NO.World Bank: Health Statistics. Infant mortality rate is the number of infants dying before reaching one year of age, per 1,000 live births in a given year.; ; Estimates developed by the UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UNICEF, WHO, World Bank, UN DESA Population Division) at www.childmortality.org.; Weighted Average; Given that data on the incidence and prevalence of diseases are frequently unavailable, mortality rates are often used to identify vulnerable populations. Moreover, they are among the indicators most frequently used to compare socioeconomic development across countries. Under-five mortality rates are higher for boys than for girls in countries in which parental gender preferences are insignificant. Under-five mortality captures the effect of gender discrimination better than infant mortality does, as malnutrition and medical interventions have more significant impacts to this age group. Where female under-five mortality is higher, girls are likely to have less access to resources than boys.

NO: Mortality Rate: Infant: Female: per 1000 Live Births data was reported at 1.900 Ratio in 2017. This stayed constant from the previous number of 1.900 Ratio for 2015. NO: Mortality Rate: Infant: Female: per 1000 Live Births data is updated yearly, averaging 2.300 Ratio from Dec 1990 (Median) to 2017, with 5 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 6.200 Ratio in 1990 and a record low of 1.900 Ratio in 2017. NO: Mortality Rate: Infant: Female: per 1000 Live Births data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Norway – Table NO.World Bank: Health Statistics. Infant mortality rate, female is the number of female infants dying before reaching one year of age, per 1,000 female live births in a given year.; ; Estimates developed by the UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UNICEF, WHO, World Bank, UN DESA Population Division) at www.childmortality.org.; Weighted average; Given that data on the incidence and prevalence of diseases are frequently unavailable, mortality rates are often used to identify vulnerable populations.

The IMR zooplankton database holds Norwegian Sea data on size fractionated biomass as well as biomass for particular zooplankton groups obtained from standard seasonal transects (Svinøy, Gimsøy and Bjørnøya-vest) and a regional coverage of the Norwegian Sea during spring. Data on species composition (abundance) are limited.

The hydrodynamic circulation model results are retrieved from an ocean model version of the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) (www.myroms.org, Haidvogel et al, 2008, Shchepetkin and McWilliams 2005, 2009) applying a horizontal resolution of 800m. This model covers the entire Norwegian coast and parts of the adjacent seas, and the technical details are described in Albretsen et al. (2011). At the surface the ocean model applied atmospheric fields from a high-resolution simulation with the WRF meso-scale wind model (www.wrf-model.orghttp://www.wrf-model.org/, Dudhia, 1993). The model statistics were retrieved from two separate simulations covering the period from January-August both in 2013 and 2014. Tidal forcing was retrieved from the global TPXO model of ocean tides (Egbert and Erofeeva, 2002) and added along the open boundary in addition to daily averaged surface elevation, currents and hydrography from the operational forecast from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. No data assimilation or any kind of surface relaxation was used.
