nor_population_by_sex_age_cats: Population in Norway by sex and age categories

In csdata: Structural Data for Norway

Population in Norway by sex and age categories

Description

A function that categorizes the Norwegian population into custom age categories, split by sex (male/female) and optionally the total of both sexes.

Usage

nor_population_by_sex_age_cats(
  cats = NULL,
  include_total_age = TRUE,
  include_total_sex = TRUE,
  include_9999 = FALSE,
  border = csdata::config$border_nor
)

Arguments

cats	A list containing vectors that you want to categorize.
include_total_age	Boolean. Should 'total' be included as an age cat?
include_total_sex	Boolean. Should 'total' (both sexes combined) be included as a sex, alongside 'male' and 'female'?
include_9999	Boolean. Should the current year is duplicated and added as "calyear==9999". This is in accordance with the cstidy principles regarding granularity_time=="event_*".
border	The year in which Norwegian geographical boundaries were designated (2024).

Details

For locations where Statistics Norway provides no sex breakdown (Svalbard, Jan Mayen, unknown), male and female are returned as NA while total holds the real count.

Note that when include_total_sex = TRUE the output holds male, female and total in long format, so summing pop_jan1_n across all sex values double-counts. Filter to a single sex, or sum only the male/female components.

Value

A data.table containing the following columns:

• granularity_geo

• location_code

• age (as specified in the argument "cats")

• sex ("male", "female", and "total" if include_total_sex)

• calyear

• pop_jan1_n

• imputed
