(a) live births by sex, by month of occurrence, by live birth-order, by mother’s age, by mother’s year of birth, by mother’s country of birth, by mother’s country of citizenship and by mother’s region of residence;

Ratio of the number of deaths of children under one year of age during the year to the number of live births in that year (expressed per 1 000 live births)

‘death’ means the permanent disappearance of all evidence of life at any time after live birth has taken place (post-natal cessation of vital functions without capability of resuscitation).

Infant mortality fell from 149 to 101 per 1000 live births over the same period, which is a truly remarkable achievement.
