Probability of dying among adolescents ages 10-14 years (per 1,000)

This indicator reflects the likelihood of death among adolescents aged 10 to 14, quantifying how many out of 1,000 youths in this age group may die, given the current age-specific mortality rates for that particular year. It serves as a crucial metric for evaluating the health and well-being of young populations, highlighting vulnerabilities that may arise from various factors such as socio-economic conditions, healthcare access, and environmental influences. By analyzing changes in this probability over time, policymakers and health professionals can identify trends, assess the effectiveness of intervention programs, and allocate resources more effectively to improve adolescent health outcomes. Understanding these dynamics is vital for fostering a healthier future generation. Source:
