What is a current life table?

A current life table is a statistical tool used by demographers and actuaries to measure and analyze the probability of survival and mortality of a given population at different ages. It provides valuable information about life expectancy, mortality rates, and age-specific death rates, which are essential for making informed decisions in fields such as public health, insurance, and pension planning. By comparing current life tables with historical data, researchers can track changes in population demographics and health trends over time.
