Zimbabwe saw a significant improvement in the quality of life in several dimensions in the 2010s. Fewer children died within their first year of birth, fewer children under the age of five were malnourished, more adults were literate, and more young children were engaged in early childhood learning. These outcomes were better in Zimbabwe than in the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. The average child born in Zimbabwe in 2019 is expected to have a higher endowment of human capital at the age of 18 than his/her peers born even in some of Zimbabwe's richer neighbors. Access to basic infrastructure services, such as clean drinking water, sanitation, and electricity also improved over this period.
