posts: 25330

This table contains the full text for all our old WORDPRESS content in html form. The format is a bit odd as it represents a direct copy from wordpress content that includes a lot of wordpress specific comments that carry some meaning in terms of layout instructions etc.. The html in the content column can thus be rendered as is but will not look identical to the way it looks on our website as several post processing steps are not applied yet. The content should work though as a readable approximation for every post. For easy searching etc, a markdown copy of the content is available in the markdown column. If you want to query all posts (both wordpress and gdocs), use the posts_unified table or the posts_unified_with_content view.

 ## Child deaths over time The data presented above shows the rate of child deaths. The absolute number of child deaths also depends on the absolute number of births and is shown in the following chart. In the late 1960s close to 20 million children died every year. Even though the number of births increased since then, the absolute number of child deaths started to decrease and from annually more than 20 million deaths declined to below 6 million deaths. The annual decrease of this reduction stayed remarkably stable over these five decades. In the period from 1990 to 2015 the world saw on average 272,169 fewer children die every year, while the number of births globally [increased slightly](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-number-of-births-by-world-region). This means that over these 25 years the number of child deaths fell on average by 746 deaths every single day. By clicking 'add country' it is possible to see this change over time for all countries in the world. <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/child-deaths-UN-data"/> ### Child deaths by region In the chart below we show the breakdown of global child deaths by region. Here we see the dramatic decline in child deaths in recent decades: the number of children dying each year has more than halved since 1990. <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/number-of-under-five-deaths-by-region"/>
