Child mortality refers to the death of infants and young children, typically defined as those under the age of five. It is often measured by the under-five mortality rate (U5MR), which is the probability of dying between birth and exactly five years of age, expressed per 1,000 live births. Child mortality is a critical indicator of a country's overall health, socioeconomic status, and well-being.
