About
The data set tracks registered deaths in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) across an eight-year time frame. It offers detailed time-series data compiled by the Ministry of Health and Prevention UAE, providing valuable insights into national mortality trends. The records capture the total number of deaths, defined as the permanent disappearance of all evidence of life after a live birth, segmenting the statistics by the Emirate of registration, citizenship status (citizen or non-citizen), and gender. The coverage includes deaths of Emiratis registered both domestically and abroad.

This data is suitable for statistical research aimed at understanding demographic shifts and mortality patterns in the Middle East. It is ideal for researchers tracking changes in death rates over time and across different geopolitical regions within the UAE. Users can conduct spatial analysis using the geographical coordinates, evaluate the impact of policy changes on public health outcomes, and assess differences in mortality between citizen and expatriate populations.
Coverage
The data collection covers the entire United Arab Emirates, with segmentation detailing the registration Emirate, across the period 2011 to 2018. The demographic scope is granular, including every registered death categorized by gender and nationality group (Citizen or Non-Citizen/Expat). Coverage also specifically accounts for Emiratis who died outside of the UAE but were registered by the relevant ministry. The frequency of expected updates is stated as annual.
