Résumé
Across the world, around one million children aged between 5 and 15 years died in 2017. For a child on its fifth birthday, the risk of dying before reaching its fifteenth birthday is 7.2 per 1,000. This is five times lower than the risk for a newborn of dying before age 5 (39 per 1,000). Mortality between ages 5 and 15 halved between 1990 and 2017, and most deaths in this age group now occur in low- and middle-income countries. In 2017, one-third of all deaths were concentrated in West and Central Africa, where the probability of dying at these ages is more than 20 times higher than in Western Europe.
