The global infant mortality rate decreased from 1990 to 2023 and is predicted to continue to fall in the coming decades. In 2023, there were approximately 27.3 infant deaths per 1,000 live births worldwide, a number that is expected to drop below 10 by 2100. As a result of this, as well as other developments, the world's population increased over the last few decades and is predicted to continue to increase in the coming decades.
