New Zealand NZ: Mortality Rate: Infant: Male: per 1000 Live Births data was reported at 4.800 Ratio in 2017. This records a decrease from the previous number of 5.100 Ratio for 2015. New Zealand NZ: Mortality Rate: Infant: Male: per 1000 Live Births data is updated yearly, averaging 5.600 Ratio from Dec 1990 (Median) to 2017, with 5 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 10.300 Ratio in 1990 and a record low of 4.800 Ratio in 2017. New Zealand NZ: Mortality Rate: Infant: Male: per 1000 Live Births data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s New Zealand – Table NZ.World Bank: Health Statistics. Infant mortality rate, male is the number of male infants dying before reaching one year of age, per 1,000 male 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.

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.

New Zealand: Infant deaths per 1000 live births: The latest value from 2022 is 4 deaths per 1000 live births, unchanged from 4 deaths per 1000 live births in 2021. In comparison, the world average is 19 deaths per 1000 live births, based on data from 187 countries. Historically, the average for New Zealand from 1960 to 2022 is 10 deaths per 1000 live births. The minimum value, 4 deaths per 1000 live births, was reached in 2016 while the maximum of 23 deaths per 1000 live births was recorded in 1960.

The child mortality rate in New Zealand, for children under the age of five, was 391 deaths per thousand births in 1850. This means that just under forty percent of all children born in 1850 did not make it to their fifth birthday. This number dropped drastically over the next ten years, then it remained between one and two hundred for the remainder of the 1800s, before dropping gradually from 1900 until today. By 2020, child mortality in New Zealand is expected to be approximately five deaths per thousand births.

In 2022, the total fertility rate in New Zealand remained nearly unchanged at around 1.66 children per woman. However, 2022 marked the second consecutive increase of the fertility rate. The total fertility rate is the average number of children that a woman of childbearing age (generally considered 15 to 44 years) is expected to have throughout her reproductive years. Unlike birth rates, which are based on the actual number of live births in a given population, fertility rates are estimates (similar to life expectancy) that apply to a hypothetical woman, as they assume that current patterns in age-specific fertility will remain constant throughout her reproductive years.Find more statistics on other topics about New Zealand with key insights such as infant mortality rate, crude birth rate, and total life expectancy at birth.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Health Statistics offers the most comprehensive source of comparable statistics on health and health systems across OECD countries. It is an essential tool for health researchers and policy advisors in governments, the private sector and the academic community, to carry out comparative analyses and draw lessons from international comparisons of diverse health care systems. Within UKDS.Stat the data are presented in the following databases: Health status This datasets presents internationally comparable statistics on morbidity and mortality with variables such as life expectancy, causes of mortality, maternal and infant mortality, potential years of life lost, perceived health status, infant health, dental health, communicable diseases, cancer, injuries, absence from work due to illness. The annual data begins in 2000.

In this table data is expressed in different measures such as gender, age and population. The annual data begins in 1960. Health expenditure and financing This dataset compares countries in terms of their current and total expenditures on health by comparing how they allocate their budget with respect to different health care functions while looking at different financing agents and providers.
