The child mortality rate in Italy, for children under the age of five, was 390 deaths per thousand births in 1865. This translated into just under forty percent of all children born in 1865 not surviving past their fifth birthday. Child mortality remained above 250 until the mid 1920s, before falling at a much faster rate throughout the rest of the century thanks in part to the introduction and availability of new vaccinations. In 2020, the child mortality rate in Italy is expected to be just three deaths per one thousand births.
