Cohort Life Table

A Cohort Life Table is a tool used in demography to track the survival and death rates of a specific group of individuals, known as a cohort, over time. This group might consist of people born in the same year or those who share a common characteristic. The table provides insights into life expectancy, showing how many individuals are alive at each age and the likelihood of dying during certain age intervals. This information helps researchers and policymakers understand population health trends, plan for social services, and assess the impact of various factors on lifespan.
