Static Life Table

A static life table is a mathematical tool used to understand the mortality rates of a population at different ages. It summarizes data by showing how many people are expected to survive at each age, based on certain assumptions about birth and death rates. Typically, it's constructed using data from a specific year and assumes that these rates remain constant over time. This helps demographers, health professionals, and policymakers analyze population trends, estimate life expectancy, and plan for future health and social needs.
