Schéma

Colonne	Type	Description
date	timestamp	Reference year of the observation, mapped to January 1 of that year. UNHCR's population data are end-of-year figures; applications, decisions and solutions are annual totals for the reference year.
coo_name	string	Country of origin name (provider's wording).
coo	string	Country of origin UNHCR code.
coo_iso	string	Country of origin ISO code.
coa_name	string	Country of asylum name (provider's wording).
coa	string	Country of asylum UNHCR code.
coa_iso	string	Country of asylum ISO code.
series_id	string	Stable machine identifier built from the provider's own codes: UNHCR country-of-origin code, country-of-asylum code, and the measure or procedure-dimension codes (e.g. "AFG.AUL.refugees", "AFG.AUL.G.A.AR.C" for an asylum-applications row).
series_label	string	Human-readable series name using the provider's own country names, e.g. "Afghanistan → Australia — Refugees".
decision_outcome	string	Decision outcome (provider's measure field): recognized — the number of asylum applicants recognised as refugees under UNHCR’s mandate; other_protection — the number recognised under other forms of complementary protection; rejected — the number whose claims have been rejected; otherwise_closed — the number whose claims have been otherwise closed; total_decisions — the total number of asylum applicants for which a decision has been made in the reference period.
decision_outcome_label	string	Human label of the decision outcome (see decision_outcome).
unit	string	"persons": all measures are counts of people. For asylum applications/decisions the provider notes the data usually reflects persons but governments sometimes report cases (see app_pc/dec_pc); a case can contain one or more persons.
value	integer	Observed count. The provider marks missing observations with "-"; these become null and are dropped from the canonical frame.
procedure_type	string	The procedure type describes the authority with whom the asylum claim was lodged. It can be one of: G – Government, J – Joint, U – UNHCR.
dec_level	string	The decision level provides more detail of the stage of the procedure. Common values are NA (New applications), RA (repeat/reopened applications) and AR (administrative review).
dec_pc	string	The data type describes whether the data provided reflects cases or persons (same meaning as app_pc for applications).
