Annual UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UN IGME) estimates of three headline child mortality indicators for 200 countries, 1931-2024 (keyless UNICEF Data Warehouse SDMX, Child Mortality dataflow): the under-five mortality rate (SDG 3.2.1), the infant mortality rate, and the neonatal mortality rate (SDG 3.2.2), all in deaths per 1,000 live births with the published IGME uncertainty intervals. The child-survival layer for development, public-health and country-risk models; joins on (country_code, year) with the catalog's other global panels. Annual modeled estimates, not survey points.

Column	Type	Description
country_code	string	ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code (UNICEF Data Warehouse field REF_AREA; regional aggregates dropped; XKX kept for Kosovo).
country	string	Country name from the catalog's canonical ISO3 mapper (+Kosovo override).
indicator	string	Canonical indicator slug: under5_mr (SDG 3.2.1), infant_mr, or neonatal_mr (SDG 3.2.2).
indicator_label	string	Human-readable indicator definition.
year	integer	Estimate reference year (TIME_PERIOD); annual UN IGME modeled estimates, 1931-2024 (neonatal from 1951).
value	float	Mortality rate estimate, deaths per 1,000 live births. (unit: deaths per 1,000 live births)
lower_bound	float	Lower bound of the published UN IGME uncertainty interval (null where the feed publishes none). (unit: deaths per 1,000 live births)
upper_bound	float	Upper bound of the published UN IGME uncertainty interval (null where the feed publishes none). (unit: deaths per 1,000 live births)
data_source	string	Provenance label from the feed (constant: UN_IGME, the UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation).
obs_status	string	Observation status flag ('A' on every row in this dataflow).
row_hash	string	Deterministic sha256(country_code\|indicator\|year) truncated to 12 hex chars; row identity key.
