Life Table

A life table is a statistical tool used to display the life expectancy and mortality rates of a population at different ages. It outlines the likelihood of survival and death at each age interval, providing insights into how long individuals are expected to live based on current age and gender. Life tables are crucial in fields such as public health and actuarial science, helping to inform policies, insurance premiums, and retirement planning by illustrating patterns in longevity and risk throughout different stages of life.
