The infant mortality rate in South Korea declined to 2.4 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2022. Therefore, 2022 marks the lowest infant mortality rate during the observed period. The infant mortality rate refers to the number of newborns not expected to survive past the first year of life. This is generally expressed as a value per 1,000 live births, and infant mortality also includes neonatal mortality (deaths within the first 28 days of life).
