Infant mortality in Russia by year
4,0 per 1,000 live births, 2024 −0,2 to 2023
Number of children who died before age one per 1,000 live births.
Since 2012, Rosstat has adopted international live birth criteria: children weighing 500 g or more are considered live births. The 2012 jump to 8.6 per 1,000 is due to a change in methodology, not an increase in mortality.
Between 2012 and 2024, the indicator decreased by more than half, to 4.0.
