Statistical Life Tables

Statistical life tables are tools that provide information about the mortality and survival rates of a population. They outline the likelihood of death at various ages, helping to estimate how long people might live on average. These tables are created from historical data and reveal trends in life expectancy, which can differ based on factors like gender, lifestyle, and health. They are important in fields such as insurance, healthcare, and public policy, helping to inform decisions based on how populations age and how resources should be allocated for different age groups.
