The forecast for child mortality rate in Canada from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent downward trend. Starting from a high of 870 deaths per 100,000 children aged 5-14 in 2024, the rate is expected to decrease at a steady pace, reaching 800 by 2028. This indicates an overall decline in mortality rates, highlighting improvements in healthcare and child welfare initiatives in Canada. Given that the data prior to 2024 is actual, estimating the changes in 2023 is essential to understand the baseline from which these forecasts are projected.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of healthcare policies and technology on further reducing the mortality rate.
Governmental healthcare funding and programs aimed at decreasing child mortality.
Socioeconomic factors influencing the health and safety of children in Canada.
