Abstract

The objective is to analyze, from the mid-twentieth century, changes in the level of infant mortality in Argen­tina watching, regional differences. A first reading indicates that in Argentina, between 1950 and 2010, the level of infant mortality declined more than 80%, being its level of 11.1 per thousand in 2012. Considering the behaviour of the various jurisdictions, only a third of them remained in the XXI century below the national average and a third part over, the rest presented ups and downs.
