Method and limitations

Method and limitations

No missing value is imputed. Where colour classes are used, their breaks and colours come from the catalogue; source-declared suppression remains missing.

The area mean gives every published geographic area equal weight. It is not weighted by population, exposure or area size.

Rates are direct publisher estimates. Crude rates and age-specific fertility are converted from ratios to per-1,000 units; total fertility remains children per woman.

Calendar-year observation.
