Values are comma-separated and missing values are
denoted by a decimal point.
The first record in each file lists the keywords for
variables included in that file.
In each file, for each county there are 9 records in
total:
Male xiang 1
Male xiang 2
Male xiang code 3 (=mean of xiang 1
and xiang 2 or county value)
Female xiang 1
Female xiang 2
Female xiang code 3
Total xiang 1 where Total (sex code
T) =mean of male and female
Total xiang 2
Total xiang code 3
For consistency of format all 9 records are included
even where a record consists of all missing values (e.g. mortality values are
available only at the county level, so xiang-specific
values are all missing)
A text file, CHNAME.TXT,
provides a description of each variable, referenced by the keywords shown in
the first record of each data file.
