Extract

The model life tables for stationary populations, together with the mortality and fertility schedules, are presented in Appendix C. This chapter annotates all of the elements in the tables: the names are given as they appear in our tables together with their standard denotation in the demographic literature, all elements are defined, and the formulas or algorithms for their derivation are presented. Since the tables apply only to stationary populations, the calculation of the table elements for growing populations is also outlined. Our notational format is somewhat different from standard notation to allow for computer printout and to better fit the goals of this work. For further details on the life table elements, the reader should consult Barclay (1958) or Shryock and Siegel (1971).
