AB  - A life table is one of the most influential
discoveries in demography which is primarily used to
express the pattern of human mortality. Among the
various uses, it plays an imperative role for analysis of
mortality, population projection, life expectancy design
and to determine key factors responsible for the highest
mortality within the population. Public health employees,
demographers, actuaries and many others use life tables
for innumerable purposes. Life table can be constructed
for a country or an area on the basis of various
demographic characteristics including sex, occupation,
race and so on. It can be classified according to reference
year of the table, age detail and a number of factors
comprehended by the table. The purpose of this study is
to introduce life table including its various types and
construction procedures.
