The child mortality rate in Finland, for children under the age of five, was 420 deaths per thousand births in 1800. This means that for every thousand babies born in 1800, roughly 42 percent did not make it to their fifth birthday. Over the course of the next 220 years, this number has dropped drastically, and the rate has dropped to its lowest point ever in 2020 where it is just seven deaths per thousand births, which is the lowest of any country n the world. Since 1800, the child mortality rate in Finland has dropped gradually, particularly since the turn of the twentieth century, and the only time since 1900 where the mortality rate increased was between 1915 and 1920, as a result of the Spanish Flu pandemic that swept across the globe.
