Brief answer
- France’s infant mortality rate (deaths of children under 1 year per 1,000 live births) has been about 3–4 per 1,000 in recent years — roughly 3.3–3.6/1,000 in the most recent years covered by major datasets. That corresponds to roughly 2,400–2,700 infant deaths per year given ~700–800k births annually.
Context and trend
- Long-term trend: a steady decline over decades (from dozens per 1,000 mid‑20th century down to the low single digits today).
- Most infant deaths are neonatal (in the first 28 days); neonatal mortality has become the dominant component as post‑neonatal deaths fell faster.
Best sources for current and detailed figures
- INSEE (French national statistics office) — official births and infant deaths by year/region.
- OECD Health Statistics — international comparable infant mortality rates.
- World Bank / WHO — global time series and comparisons.
If you want
- I can look up the latest exact number for a specific year (e.g., 2022 or 2023) and provide a short chart or compare France to other European countries — tell me which year(s) or comparison you want.
