Abstract
(These metadata come from Statistics Finland: http://tilastokeskus.fi/meta/til/ksyyt_en.html)
Description
Statistics Finland produces statistics on causes of death and on the development of mortality. It also maintains an archive of death certificates from which information or copies of death certificates can be obtained for purposes prescribed in law. The statistics on causes of death are compiled from data obtained from death certificates, which are supplemented with data from the population information system of the Population Register Centre. The statistics on causes of death cover the persons who have died in Finland or abroad during the calendar year and who at the time of death were domiciled in Finland.
Data content
The statistics on causes of deaths contain data on deaths and mortality by cause of death, age, gender, marital status and other demographic variables. The statistics also contain data on the circumstances of death, as well as on perinatal, neonatal and infant mortality. The annual statistics are compiled by the so-called statistical underlying cause of death. Other causes of death (see list) are used in producing special compilation.
The data on causes of deaths are also combined with the longitudinal population census and employment data, and the formed time series are used to study the effect of socio-economic factors on mortality and connections between an occupation and mortality.
