Niger NE: Mortality Rate: Under-5: Female: per 1000 Live Births data was reported at 80.800 Ratio in 2017. This records a decrease from the previous number of 89.600 Ratio for 2015. Niger NE: Mortality Rate: Under-5: Female: per 1000 Live Births data is updated yearly, averaging 119.400 Ratio from Dec 1990 (Median) to 2017, with 5 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 323.900 Ratio in 1990 and a record low of 80.800 Ratio in 2017. Niger NE: Mortality Rate: Under-5: 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 Niger – Table NE.World Bank: Health Statistics. Under-five mortality rate, female is the probability per 1,000 that a newborn female baby will die before reaching age five, if subject to female age-specific mortality rates of the specified 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.
