The infant mortality rate in deaths per 1,000 live births in Mexico stood at 10.8 in 2023. The infant mortality rate fell by 94.5 from 1960.

The infant mortality rate in Mexico, for children under the age of one year old, was 121 deaths per thousand births in 1955. This translated into over twelve percent of children born that year not surviving past their first birthday. Over the course of the next 65 years, this number fell to fourteen deaths per thousand births by the 2015 to 2020 period. Although this number is approximately double the rate of neighboring United States, it is still significantly lower than the global average.

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.

Actual value and historical data chart for Mexico Number Of Infant Deaths

The child mortality rate in Mexico, for children under the age of five, was 487 deaths per thousand births in 1890. This means that roughly half of all children born in 1890 did not make it to their fifth birthday (the number did rise above fifty percent in 1895). Since the turn of the twentieth century, the child mortality rate in Mexico has fallen during each five year interval, and is expected to be sixteen deaths per thousand births in 2020.

The Poverty Mapping Project: Global Subnational Infant Mortality Rates data set consists of estimates of infant mortality rates for the year 2000. The infant mortality rate for a region or country is defined as the number of children who die before their first birthday for every 1,000 live births. The data products include a shapefile (vector data) of rates, grids (raster data) of rates (per 10,000 live births in order to preserve precision in integer format), births (the rate denominator) and deaths (the rate numerator), and a tabular data set of the same and associated data. Over 10,000 national and subnational Units are represented in the tabular and grid data sets, while the shapefile uses approximately 1,000 Units in order to protect the intellectual property of source data sets for Brazil, China, and Mexico. This data set is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).

Abstract The aim of this work is to analyze the impact of socio-economic and ethnic-racial characteristics in the likelihood of the death of a child before their fifth birthday. Using data from the Survey of Social Mobility in México ESRU-EMOVI 2017 of the Epinosa Yglesis Center for Studies, our results suggest that women with darker skin tone are 2.82 (1.39, 5.74) times more likely to have lost a child before their fifth birthday than women with white skin tone. These are the results after controlling for different birth cohorts, sociodemographic, territorial and socio-economic characteristics. In a counterfactual scenario, the probability of losing a child is explained by ethnic-racial characteristics up to 28.7%, and by socio-economic characteristics up to 58.5%. The loss of a child is a demographic event unequally distributed in the population, and determined not only by socio-economic characteristics, but also by ethnic and racial characteristics. The idea of miscegenation that proposes racial equality in the population in Mexico proves inaccurate and prevents the saving of lives.

Introductionour objective was to analyze the trends in the leading causes of death among the pediatric population aged 1–19 years in Mexico and the United States (US) from 2000 to 2022. Methods. Data for Mexico were sourced from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), while the US data were extracted from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC-WONDER) databases.ResultsHomicide has been the leading cause of death since 2017 in Mexico and since 2019 in US youths aged 1–19. In Mexico, it reached 6.5 deaths per 100,000 people in 2022. Despite the overall pediatric mortality decline from 2000 to 2022 in both countries, the pediatric homicide rate has increased by 93.3 and 35.8% In Mexico and the US, respectively, and suicide by 86.6 and 36.9%. In both countries, death by firearm-related injuries had risen in a parallel sense. In the US, deaths by drug overdose and poisoning have increased by 314.8%.ConclusionDespite advancements in infant healthcare over the past two decades in Mexico, there remains a significant gap in the provision of healthcare services to the adolescent population. Addressing issues related to violence, mental health, and substance abuse through targeted public policies is imperative for both Mexico and the US, especially given their shared border region.
