The child mortality rate in Switzerland, for children under the age of five, was 345 deaths per thousand births in 1865. This means that just under 35 percent of all children born in 1865 did not make it to their fifth birthday. Over the next century and a half, Switzerland's child mortality rate decreased over every five year interval, and is expected to be just four deaths per thousand in 2020.
