Machinery and transport equipment (% of value added in mfg)
Value added in manufacturing is the sum of gross output less the value of intermediate inputs used in production for industries classified in ISIC major division 3. Machinery and transport equipment comprise ISIC groups 382-84. For more information, see T
ables: WDI 4.3.

errous metals). For more information, see Tables: WDI 4.4.

Manufacturing, value added (% of GDP)
Manufacturing refers to industries belonging to ISIC divisions 15-37. Value added is the net output of a sector after adding up all outputs and subtracting intermediate inputs. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated asse
ts or depletion and degradation of natural resources. The industrial origin of value added is determined by the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC), revision 2. For more information, see Tables: WDI 4.1 and 4.2.

er adding up all outputs and subtracting intermediate inputs. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or depletion and degradation of natural resources. The industrial origin of value added is determined by the Int
ernational Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC), revision 2. For more information, see Tables: WDI 4.1 and 4.2.

Mortality rate, infant (per 1,000 live births)
Infant mortality rate is the number of infants who die before reaching one year of age, per 1,000 live births in a given year. For more information, see Tables: WDI 2.17.
Mortality rate, under-5 (per 1,000 live births)
Under-5 mortality rate is the probability of a child born in the indicated year dying before reaching the age of 5, if subject to current age-specific mortality rates. The probability is expressed as a rate per 1,000. For more information, see Tables: WDI
