Browse the latest available value for each stored sex, age, other dimension and unit combination across these pages. Different scopes are separate series. Periods can be old; a recent import does not make an old period current. Future-dated periods are listed separately because the stored data does not identify observation versus projection status.
53 scoped series entries across 29 indicators. Up to 50 entries per page; category counts below refer to this page.
