The child mortality rate of Brazil, for children under the age of five years, was 417 deaths per thousand births in the year 1900. This meant that approximately 42 percent of all children did not make it to their fifth birthday. This number has continuously decreased until today, dropping at its fastest rate between 1930 and 1955,when it then fell to less than half the rate in 1900. Today, the child mortality rate in Brazil is 15 deaths per thousand births; pre-natal education, medical advancements and improved access to medical care are the driving forces behind these changes.
