Read Eurostat EUROPOP2023 mortality-assumption table (proj_23naasmr)

Reads the Eurostat TSV export for EUROPOP2023 age-specific mortality rate assumptions (dataset proj_23naasmr), typically downloaded as estat_proj_23naasmr.tsv.gz. Returns a tidy long table with metadata columns plus numeric Age, Year, and mx.

Usage

read_es_aasmr(directory)

Arguments

directory

Directory containing estat_proj_23naasmr.tsv.gz.

Value

A tibble with columns: freq, projection, sex, unit, geo, age, Age, Year, mx.

Details

Eurostat value flags (e.g. provisional/estimated markers) are tolerated: the numeric part is parsed into mx, while missing values encoded as : are returned as NA.

The Eurostat age dimension uses codes like Y_LT1 (age < 1), Y1 (age 1), and Y_GE85 (age 85+). This function maps Y_LT1 to Age = 0 and parses Y{n} and Y_GE{n} to integer ages.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
es_aasmr <- read_es_aasmr(file.path("data", "life"))
es_aasmr %>% dplyr::count(geo, sex, projection, sort = TRUE)
} # }
