Infant mortality in Belgium 1835-2020
The infant mortality rate in Belgium, for children under the age of one year old, was almost 180 deaths per thousand births in 1835. This translated into roughly 18 percent of all babies born that year not surviving past their first birthday. This rate fluctuated over the next sixty years, before a downward trend began at the turn of the twentieth century. It amounted to three deaths per one thousand live births in the period between 2015 and 2020.
