Child mortality in Algeria 1895 to 2020

The child mortality rate in Algeria was 460 deaths per thousand births at the turn of the twentieth century (for children under the age of five). Over the next 25 years, the rate decreased slightly, before dropping at a much faster rate by the millennium. The fastest periods of decline were in the late 1940s and early 1980s, where child mortality dropped by 50 deaths per thousand births in each five year period. In 2020, Algeria's child mortality rate is at a record low of 25 deaths per thousand births, and approximately 21 of these are infant deaths (below one year old).
