Mortality and Causes of Death 1997-2015 [dataset]. Version 1. Pretoria: Statistics South Africa [producer], 2017. Cape Town: DataFirst [distributor], 2020. DOI: https://doi.org/10.25828/39rz-a312 Version 1: Edited, anonymised dataset for public distribution Version 1 of the dataset was downloaded from the Statistics South Africa website on 16 July 2020. Morbidity Mortality Causes of death This cumulative dataset contains statistics on mortality and causes of death in South Africa covering the period 1997-2015. The mortality and causes of death dataset are part of a regular series published by Stats SA, based on data collected through the civil registration system. The first dataset in the series is the separately available dataset Recorded Deaths 1996. The main objective of this dataset is to outline emerging trends and differentials in mortality by selected socio-demographic and geographic characteristics for deaths that occurred in the registered year and over time. Reliable mortality statistics, are the cornerstone of national health information systems, and are necessary for population health assessment, health policy and service planning; and programme evaluation. They are essential for studying the occurrence and distribution of health-related events, their determinants and management of related health problems. These data are particularly critical for monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2063 which share the same goal for a high standard of living and quality of life, sound health and well-being for all and at all ages. Mortality statistics are also required for assessing the impact of non-communicable diseases (NCD's), emerging infectious diseases, injuries and natural disasters. South Africa National coverage The lowest level of geographic aggregation covered by the data is province. Individuals This dataset is based on information on mortality and causes of death from the South African civil registration system. It covers all death notification forms from the Department of Home Affairs for deaths that occurred in 1997-2015, that reached Stats SA during the 2016/2017 processing phase. Administrative records data [adm] This dataset contains statistics on mortality and causes of death that occurred in South Africa over the period 1997-2015 and were registered by the Department of Home Affairs. Other socio-demographic and geographic characteristics of the deceased include age, gender, marital status, education, occupation and place of birth and death. Other [oth] The registration of deaths is captured using two instruments: form BI-1663 and form DHA-1663 (Notification/Register of death/stillbirth). The registration of deaths is governed by the Births and Deaths Registration Act, 1992 (Act No. 51 of 1992 as amended), and is administered by the Department of Home Affairs. After a death is registered, the Department of Home Affairs issues a death certificate and, where applicable, updates the population register. The forms are then collected by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) for processing. This cumulative dataset is part of a regular series published by Stats SA and includes all previous rounds in the series (excluding Recorded Deaths 1996). Stats SA only includes one variable to classify the occupation group of the deceased (OccupationGrp) in the current round (1997-2017). Prior to 2016, Stats SA included both occupation group (OccupationGrp) and industry classification (Industry) in all previous rounds. Therefore, DataFirst has made the 1997-2015 cumulative round available as a separately downloadable dataset which includes both occupation group and industry classification of the deceased spanning the years 1997-2015.
