The infant mortality rate in Finland, for children under the age of one year old, was over 222 deaths per thousand births in 1870. This means that for all babies born in 1870, over 22 percent did not survive past their first birthday. This rate generally decreased over the next century and a half, with the only spikes recorded in the late 1910s, as a result of the Spanish Flu pandemic that spread across the globe. Nowadays, Finland has one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world, with just two deaths per thousand births in 2020.
