Estimates of infant mortality based on interpolations between 5-year period estimates drawn from the UN World
Population Prospects, 1992.
Definition: The estimated number of deaths in infants (children under age one) in a given year per 1,000 live
births in that year.
Averages are not weighted but are straight averages.
