Health Expenditures, Life Expectancy and Infant Mortality in Nigeria (1990-2023).csv

<p dir="ltr">This dataset supports a study of how disaggregated health-financing segments viz. health expenditure per capita, recurrent health expenditure, capital health expenditure, and out-of-pocket health spending, relate to social sustainability in Nigeria, measured by life expectancy at birth and infant mortality rate. By separating recurrent vs capital government spending and household out-of-pocket payments from per-capita spending, the data enable clean tests of financing composition effects on population health.</p><h4><b>Variables (what each column means)/source sites</b></h4><ul><li><b>YEAR</b>: Calendar year.</li><li><b>LEX_years: </b>Life expectancy at birth, total (years).<br><b>Source site:</b> World Bank WDI → <a href="" rel="noopener" target="_new">https://data.worldbank.org</a></li><li><b>IMR_per_1000: </b>Infant mortality rate (deaths under age 1 per 1,000 live births).<br><b>Source site:</b> World Bank WDI → <a href="" rel="noopener" target="_new">https://data.worldbank.org</a></li><li><b>HEXPc_USD: </b>Current health expenditure per capita (current US$).<br><b>Source site:</b> World Bank WDI (from WHO GHED) → <a href="" rel="noopener" target="_new">https://data.worldbank.org</a></li><li><b>OPHS_percent: </b>Out-of-pocket spending as a % of current health expenditure (households’ direct payments).<br><b>Source site:</b> World Bank WDI / WHO Global Health Expenditure Database → <a href="" rel="noopener" target="_new">https://data.worldbank.org</a> ; <a href="https://apps.who.int/nha/database?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="noopener" target="_new">https://apps.who.int/nha/database</a></li><li><b>RHEX_Naira_billion: </b>Federal Government Recurrent health expenditure (₦ billions).<br><b>Source site:</b> CBN Statistical Bulletin → <a href="" rel="noopener" target="_new">https://www.cbn.gov.ng</a> (Statistics ▸ Statistical Bulletin ▸ Public Finance)</li><li><b>CHEX_Naira_billion:</b> Federal Government Capital health expenditure (₦ billions).<br><b>Source site:</b> CBN Statistical Bulletin → <a href="" rel="noopener" target="_new">https://www.cbn.gov.ng</a> (Statistics ▸ Statistical Bulletin ▸ Public Finance)</li></ul><p dir="ltr"><b><i>Notes: </i></b><i>Spending series from WDI/WHO typically have strongest coverage from 2000 onward; earlier years may be NA.
