Table 2 gives an overview of early childhood mortality rates in Jordan by time interval prior to the survey. While under-five mortality has declined steadily over the three five-year periods prior to the survey, from 26 to 21 per 1,000 live births, this was mainly owing to similar declines in infant mortality. Child mortality, in contrast, has not moved much over time, hovering around 2 or 3 per 1,000 live births. In turn, the decline in infant mortality seems to have been driven mostly by the decrease in post-neonatal mortality, whereas neonatal mortality rates have not followed a clear time trend.
