Death rate, crude (per 1,000 people)
Annual data series are interpolated from 5-year period data. Therefore they may not reflect real events as much as observed data.
Crude death rate indicates the number of deaths occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration.
Crude death rate indicates the number of deaths per 1,000 midyear population.
