Three policy options for a hypothetical country with a U5MR of 200 today to achieve a two-thirds reduction in child mortality by 2015.

, 2013
The U5MR varies across the quintiles of wealth, with each policy option showing a different quintile ratio (QR1, QR5, and QR10). Peru, with a quintile ratio of 5 in 1996, is shown as a point of contrast [11].
