Yeah, there are a lot of delays, provisional data, etc.... it's not real time by any stretch of the imagination, according to each country's systems. I just left the data as is.

As you said, I think it's enough to see some interesting trends. But it's not as good as looking at a smaller age band in a smaller area with more consistent data collection rules.

  • Excluded RUS and TWN because they were not up to latest year
  • Men are blue, women are pink. Astonishing how much more men die younger :| (It reverses in the higher ages)
  • Note: source data is a little sketch because each country has their own age brackets, which don't necessarily line up to 0-64, but I felt that involved the least data munging. (If you read the metadata docs on their site it says this.) I am just taking the data that they claim is 0-64, FYI.
  • I give up trying to paste my code as a code block here. Screw reddit.
