The child mortality rate in Austria, for children under the age of five, was 387 deaths per thousand births in 1800. This means that just under forty percent of all children born in 1860 did not make it to their fifth birthday. Child mortality increased to over forty percent for most of the nineteenth century, as the country became more industrialized and urbanized, which allowed diseases to spread much faster. From 1900 onwards, the child mortality rate in Austria dropped consistently until today, (apart from a small increase during the Second World War) and it is expected to fall to just four deaths per thousand births in 2020.
