How this figure is calculated
Number of infant deaths, female divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Number of infant deaths, female ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Number of infant deaths, female Estimates developed by the UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UNICEF, WHO, World Bank, UN DESA Population Division) at www.childmortality.org
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
