It's an interesting layout but has an annoying feature I've noticed in similar infographics. The division looks like it should be proportional to occurrences, but it is not. EDIT: appears i was bitten by how I was viewing it originally - downloaded the graphic and it appears to be roughly proportional with areas (i.e. I didn't find more than 10% error) mea culpa!
What makes you think it’s not proportional?
This is a cool infographic. I wish you could break it down so you could see what the lowest hanging fruit for your own country is. I feel like a lot of times our priorities get distorted by the media and tools like this could help us focus on what will truly help the most people.
This. It also showed that mortality rate has been roughly halved since the 90s, but I wonder if that halving has been evenly split around the world, or if it is disproportionate to certain localities. [I'd assume the latter]

In summary, it's highly disproportionate, with rapidly industrializing nations in Asia representing a huge portion of the decline in child mortality.

The chart says “each box area represents the number of deaths...” What makes you think it’s not proportional?

Nutritional deficiencies are interesting because to kill a child it takes a lot. So it's just the tip of the iceberg. Problem is all the children who survive have retarded IQ's (lack of iodine can be -10 IQ points) they grow up and stay poor and have more children who will die due to their sustained poverty. I really have no idea why we pump money into schools when we can target 0-2 year olds and educate them for lif…
I looked closely but I didn’t see abortion on the graphic.
I would think that doesn't belong in a gathering of childhood fatality statistics, pretty much by definition.
Now the dark hilarity of describing the fatality rate of abortions as 0.6 per 100k abortions, on the other hand...
