Source: Center for International Health Information, April 1996.

Estimates and projections of infant mortality are based on interpolations between 5-year period estimates drawn from the U.N. World Population Prospects, 1994 Revision.
Definition: The estimated number of deaths in infants (children under age one) in a given year per 1,000 live births in that year.
Subregional and regional totals are weighted averages where the weights are the number of live births.
