New maps: infant mortality, mothers 40+, mothers’ mean age

Three new Atlas maps on the children being born: infant mortality, mothers aged 40 and over, and mothers’ mean age

All three show Greece's 13 regions year by year, with Eurostat data cross-checked against ELSTAT's tables.

Infant mortality: nationally it fell from 3.96 deaths per 1,000 births in 2014–2016 to 3.38 in 2022–2024. In Eastern Macedonia and Thrace it rose to 7.4, the highest rate. Figures are summed over three years because they are small.

Mothers aged 40+: in 2024, 10.7% of births were to mothers aged 40 or over, up from 3.8% in 2008. In Attica the share reaches 13.3%.

Mean age of mother: it rose from 29.3 years in 2001 to 32.2 in 2024. It is highest in Attica (33.0) and lowest in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace (30.9).

Each map states its caveats: changes in how births are counted, years that do not compare, regions with few cases. Find them in the Atlas at tools.statistikosatlantas.com (in Greek).
