Operationalization

World Health Organisation (WHO) publishes data on healthy life expectancy for the year 2012. World Development Indicators (WDI) makes availble time series of life expectancy. First we generate ratios of healthy life expectancy to life expectancy in 2012 for countries with both data. Then we apply the country-specific ratios to other years to generate the healthy life expectancy data.
