Countries are listed in increasing p% among the 0-64 years old age stratum

**

For Canada, the 0-14 year old age band given in stmf is extrapolated from the 0-44 year age band in the original data https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/tbl/csv/13100768-eng.zip. See https://www.mortality.org/File/GetDocument/Public/STMF/DOC/STMFNote.pdf for stmf methods.

NR: not reliable (given the very small population and extremely small number of deaths of children, excess deaths can be markedly influenced by single anomalies, e.g. in Iceland there were only 6 reported deaths in that age stratum in 2019 (less than a third versus 2017) and in Luxembourg there were 76 in 2022 (more than double versus the 2017-2019 average)
