Description
Country-level changes in child mortality rates and related variables over
time. Data is a merged version of all datasets available for download at
https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality. For details regarding the
extraction and formation of this data frame, please refer to the

Format
A data frame with 44,926 rows and 10 variables:
- year
Year
- country
Country
- continent
Continent
- population
Total population
- child_mort
Child Mortality (0-5 year-olds dying per 1,000 born). The
under 5 mortality rate is the probability of a child born in a specific
year dying before reaching the age of five if subject to current
age-specific mortality rates. Multiple estimates were available from
various data sources. Thus, the value that appears in this data frame is
the mean of available estimates.
- survival_per_woman
Children that survived past their 5th birthday
per woman. Child survival rate was multiplied by fertility to obtain the
data on how many children died on average per woman.
- deaths_per_woman
Children that died before 5 years of age per woman.
To calculate this measure the total fertility rate was multilplied by the
child mortality rate.
- poverty
Poverty headcount ratio at $1.90 a day, or the percentage of
the population living on less than $1.90 a day at 2011 international
prices.
- education
Average years of schooling of the population aged 15 and
over.
- health_exp
Total healthcare expenditure per capita (PPP). Per capita
health expenditure is measured in PPP-adjusted dollars to adjust for price
differences across countries. It covers the provision of health services
(preventive and curative), family planning activities, nutrition activities,
andemergency aid designated for health but does not include provision of
water and sanitation.
