1960–2024
Indicator comparison
Deaths in the first year per 1,000 births beside deaths before age five. Same unit — the gap is children aged 1–4.
Poland’s Infant mortality fell from 58 to 3.6; Under-5 mortality stayed slightly higher — early childhood still adds risk after year one. Both differ from crude Death rate.
