Age of data
The table below gives the average age of the latest internationally
available data for the three key indicators: the under-5 mortality rate, the net primary
school enrolment/attendance rate, and the percentage of under-5s who are underweight.
The more up-to-date statistics used by most governments and international
organizations are often interpolated and/or extrapolated from past surveys. The table
shows the number of years that have elapsed, on average, between the last national
on-the-ground surveys and the year 1999.
In some cases, governments may have more recent statistics that have not
been made available to the United Nations.
