The infant mortality rate in Mexico, for children under the age of one year old, was 121 deaths per thousand births in 1955. This translated into over twelve percent of children born that year not surviving past their first birthday. Over the course of the next 65 years, this number fell to fourteen deaths per thousand births by the 2015 to 2020 period.
Although this number is approximately double the rate of neighboring United States, it is still significantly lower than the global average.
