    Abstract: In this paper an attempt is made to explore the current and future mortality trends in South Asian countries, 1980-2040s, using data from the different published surveys. Mortality transitions started in South Asian countries due to the demographic change. Using stepwise regression technique it is found that the factors crude birth rate, crude death rate and Total fertility rate have negative effect and median age has positive effect on expectation of life at birth.
