Kazakhstan monthly deaths 2015 - 2018 #1

Closed akarlinsky closed 3 years ago

akarlinsky commented 3 years ago

We are looking for data on monthly deaths in Kazakhstan, 2015 to 2018. For now, we only have 2019-2020 data. If anyone can locate such data, we would greatly appreciate it.

Potential source - The site of Kazakhstan's NSO: https://stat.gov.kz/

@akarlinsky Thanks for your work on this.

I've also looked for monthly mortality data on stat.gov.kz but without success (I could only find yearly data).

I have seen one Kazakh media source with a reference to 2018 (combined with 2019) - possibly they saved some data that was previously released in the report that now shows 2019/2020? https://vlast.kz/obsshestvo/40982-v-kazahstane-v-mae-nacala-rasti-izbytocnaa-smertnost.html

Nice find! We can compute the 2018 values from the 2018-19 averages shown there! We could also try emailing the authors and ask if they can share the 2018 data with us directly.

Thanks to Noah Katz, WM now has data for 2015 to 2018 from Kazakhstan's NSO. Some monthly values are missing, but our model can handle missing values easily.

@akarlinsky That's good to hear. Out of interest, is there public access to this source data?

akarlinsky commented 3 years ago

Yes. it's the Monthly Socio-Economic Development bulletin: https://stat.gov.kz/edition/publication/month?lang=en. As stated on the README :)
