Why it matters
Annual and multi-year figures move slowly. A step this size is compared with how far the same series usually moves from one period to the next, so an ordinary year does not read as news.
For under-five mortality rate, lower is better. This movement is therefore assessed as an improvement.
Historical context
Typical year-to-year movement over the previous 6 steps: 2.
