Abstract
We briefly communicate results of a nonparametric and robust evaluation of effects of \emph{the Fourth Millennium Development Goal of United Nations}. Main aim of the goal was reducing by two thirds, between 1990--2015, the under five months child mortality. Our novel analysis was conducted by means of very powerful and user friendly tools offered by the \emph{Data Depth Concept} being a collection of multivariate techniques basing on multivariate generalizations of quantiles, ranges and order statistics. Results of our analysis are more convincing than results obtained using classical statistical tools.
