On the Method of Constructing Tables of Mortality
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 August 2016
Extract
The theory of the construction of Tables of Mortality offers no difficulty when applied either to the members of a Society, or to a collection of individuals, who can be traced so that all the necessary particulars as to them are known. But in the population of a country or a town, several incidental causes, such as epidemics and migrations, exercise an influence; some of them on the total numbers of the population, and others on the members living at certain ages. The mobility of a population or the constant change taking place, from one residence to another, or from one country to another, prevents us from following each individual or each group of individuals from the moment of birth to that of death.
