  • Country-Level Variation: In 2025, some countries still experience very high child mortality rates, while others have achieved very low rates, highlighting persistent global inequalities.

  • Geographic Patterns: High child mortality rates are concentrated in specific regions, as shown by the choropleth map, often correlating with lower economic development.

  • Distribution: The distribution of child mortality rates is right-skewed, with most countries having relatively low rates but a few experiencing much higher rates.

  • GDP per Capita Trends: Global average GDP per capita has increased over time, reflecting overall economic growth.

  • Top and Bottom Performers: There is a wide gap between the highest and lowest GDP per capita countries in 2025, emphasizing economic disparities.

  • GDP Distribution: The distribution of GDP per capita is also right-skewed, with a small number of countries having very high GDP per capita.

  • Relationship Between GDP and Child Mortality: There is a strong negative correlation between GDP per capita and child mortality—countries with higher GDP per capita tend to have lower child mortality rates.

  • Correlation Over Time: The negative correlation between GDP per capita and child mortality has remained strong over the years, though the strength of the relationship may fluctuate.

  • Outliers: Upon analysis no country deviate from the general trend, exhibiting either high GDP with high child mortality or low GDP with low child mortality, suggesting these 2 factors are strongly correlated

  • Overall Insight: Economic development, as measured by GDP per capita, is closely linked to improvements in child health outcomes, but exceptions exist, indicating the importance of other social, political, and healthcare factors.
