Since the millennium, the number of children worldwide who died before the age of five decreased steadily. This is explained by increasing vaccinations, improved nutrition, and better access to antibiotics. Moreover, research shows that child mortality decreases when women are more educated. However, further investments in child health programs and education for women are required to continue to reduce global child mortality.
