The datasets contain one record per country or region. They contain the following variables:
country_code
Numerical Location Code (3-digit codes following ISO 3166-1 numeric standard) - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_numeric.
name
Name of country or region (following ISO 3166 official short names in English - see https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search/code/ and United Nations Multilingual Terminology Database - see https://unterm.un.org/unterm).
1950-1955
, 1955-1960
, ...Life expectancy in various five-year time intervals (i.e., from 1 July in year t to 1 July in year t+5 such as the period 1950-1955 refers to the period 1950.5-1955.5 and the mid of the period is 1953.0). The e0*proj
datasets start at 2015-2020
. The e0*_supplemental
datasets start at 1750-1755
. Missing data have NA
values.
Datasets e0F
and e0F_supplemental
contain estimates for female historical e0; e0M
and e0M_supplemental
contain estimates for male historical e0. The *_supplemental
datasets contain a subset of countries for which data prior 1950 are available. Datasets e0Mproj
and e0Fproj
contain projections of male and female e0, respectively. Datasets *80l
, *95l
are the lower bounds of 80 and 95% probability intervals, *80u
, *95u
are the corresponding upper bounds.
The historical dataset (e0F_supplemental.txt and e0M_supplemental.txt for female and male respectively) for 29 countries or areas covers the period 1750-1950 (including 20 countries with data since at least 1900) is based on a series for 5-year periods from the following sources: (1) University of California at Berkeley (USA), and Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (Germany).
