Definition
Infant mortality rate is the number of infants dying before reaching one year of age, per 1,000 live births in a given year.

The series runs from 1964 to 2024 (61 years of data). It moved from 60.8 to 12.0 ‰, a change of -80.3%. The highest value was 70.6 in 1972 and the lowest 12.0 in 2024. The comparison below sets Vietnam against 9 neighbouring economies on the latest available year.
Using it in a thesis
Indicators like this one are typical control or explanatory variables in macro and finance theses: merge the CSV with your other series on the year column, check for missing years before running a regression, and log-transform level variables that grow over time. If you use the series in a panel with other countries, take every country from the same source and vintage so the definitions match. Cite the original publisher, not this site, as shown below.
