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.

The under-five child mortality rate as deaths per one thousand live births in Thailand was 9.2 in 2023. The mortality rate fell by 137.4 from 1960.

This horizontal bar chart displays death rate (per 1,000 people) by countries yearly using the aggregation average, weighted by population in Thailand. The data is about countries per year.

In 1950, the infant mortality rate in Thailand was 141 deaths per thousand live births, meaning that just over fourteen percent of all babies born in that year would not survive past their first birthday. Thailand’s infant mortality rate would fall sharply in the latter half of the 20th century, as mass immunization and vaccination campaigns would see the eradication of many childhood diseases, and modernization would greatly improve access to healthcare throughout the country. As a result, in 2020, it is estimated that over 99 percent of all newborns will survive past their first birthday.
