AZERBAIJAN DEMOGRAPHIC DYNAMICS STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

Here is a Zenodo-compatible dataset description you can use when uploading your archive. This text goes into the "Description" field during the upload process. This dataset accompanies the article "AZERBAIJAN DEMOGRAPHIC DYNAMICS STATISTICAL ANALYSIS", which presents a comprehensive evaluation of Azerbaijan’s demographic indicators from 1960 to 2024. The study employs advanced time-series modeling techniques, including STL decomposition, Bai–Perron structural break analysis, and ARIMA forecasting, to analyze trends in fertility, mortality, and infant mortality rates. Key highlights include: Harmonized data on crude birth and death rates, natural population growth, and infant mortality Structural shifts identified in 1991 (post-Soviet disruption) and 2014 (post-oil boom fertility peak) Forecast scenarios projecting further population aging and natural growth decline through 2035 Evaluation of infant mortality by ICD-10 cause categories (1995 vs. 2022), highlighting classification challenges The repository contains: Cleaned datasets (/data/) R analysis code (/code/) Projections and model outputs (/outputs/) Metadata (metadata.json) and documentation (README.md) These materials support transparent, reproducible research and are intended for use by demographers, public health researchers, and policy planners.
