What's New for the 1995-1997 Canada Life Tables
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Mortality
Languages : en
Pages : 4
Book Description
A life table shows expected mortality experience for a hypothetical cohort of 100,000 persons born at the same time and subjected to the age-sex-specific mortality rates which an actual population experienced. The last set of detailed life tables for Canada and the provinces was for the 1990-92 period (Statistics Canada Cat. No. 84-537), based on the 1991 Census of Population (CEPOP) and mortality data for 1990 through 1992. The availability of 1996 CEPOP and 1997 mortality data now allows us to produce detailed life tables for the 1995-97 period. The previously cited Statistics Canada publication describes in detail the methodology of the 1990-92 life tables, to which we made a number of improvements for the 1995-97 life tables. The focus of this paper will be on the most significant improvements, namely the use of a model for estimating probabilities of dying at ages over 87 (Coale and Kisker, 1990).

Aboriginal Populations
Author: Frank Trovato
Publisher: University of Alberta
ISBN: 1772120324
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 600
Book Description
This oral autobiography of two remarkable Cree women tells their life stories against a backdrop of government discrimination, First Nations activism, and the resurgence of First Nations communities. Nellie Carlson and Kathleen Steinhauer, who helped to organize the Indian Rights for Indian Women movement in western Canada in the 1960s, fought the Canadian government's interpretation of treaty and Aboriginal rights, the Indian Act, and the male power structure in their own communities in pursuit of equal rights for Aboriginal women and children. After decades of activism and court battles, First Nations women succeeded in changing these oppressive regulations, thus benefitting thousands of their descendants. Those interested in human rights, activism, history, and Native Studies will find that these personal stories, enriched by detailed notes and photographs, form a passionate record of an important, continuing struggle.

ISBN: 9780660249698
Category : Life expectancy
Languages : en
Pages : 15
Book Description
"Life tables are used to compute life expectancy at birth and at different ages, but they are also used to compute many other indicators: death probabilities, probabilities of survival between two ages, years of life lived and the number of survivors at different ages. The construction of a life table makes it possible to summarize mortality within a population at a given time (period life table) or within a cohort (cohort life table). Accordingly, life tables meet many statistical needs, particularly in the fields of health, epidemiology, and actuarial science, and facilitate comparisons between regions or cohorts. This document presents the methodology underlying the production of the life tables for Canada, provinces and territories, from reference period 1980/1982 and onward"--Provided by publisher.
