title: Infant mortality rate in the 10 years preceding the survey by selected demographic characteristics
unit_of_measure: Deaths per 1,000 live births
linearized_input: Infant mortality rate in the 10 years preceding the survey by selected demographic characteristics | Deaths per 1,000 live births | (<20, 95) (20-29, 71) (30-39, 73) (40-49, 100) (1, 83) (2021-02-03 00:00:00, 65) (2021-04-06 00:00:00, 72) (7+, 103) (<2 years, 122) (2 years, 67) (3 years, 46) (4+ years, 45) (Male, 84) (Female, 70)
table_text: This is true for all categories of mortality. With the exception of mothers in the 40-49 age group, infant mortality is higher for mothers under age 20 than for older mothers. Infant mortality is also higher for first births and seventh- and higher-order births than for births of orders 2-6. Short birth intervals, especially intervals of less than two years, substantially reduce children’s chances of survival. For example, children born less than two years after the preceding birth are more than 2.5 times as likely to die within the first year of life and more than twice as likely to die within the first five years of life as children born three years after the preceding birth
