### Description

The data is available by the courtesy of the World Bank under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC-BY 4.0). It includes the mortality rate of life birth per country from 1960 to 2017. The data has been converted to long data format, aggregates for groups of nations and missings have been deleted and a grouping variable with a broader scope spanning 4 years each has been added. It can be used for demonstrating intersecting percentile curves at bottom effects.
