Infant mortality in Poland 1925-2020
The infant mortality rate in Poland, for children under the age of one year old, was 177 deaths per thousand births in 1925. This means that for all babies born in 1925, almost 18 percent did not survive past their first birthday. The rate increased slightly in the late 1930s, as the Second World War began, and then no information is available during the early 1940s. From the late 1940s onwards, Poland's infant mortality rate drops consistently, and today it is just three deaths per thousand births.
