What is a cohort life table?
A cohort life table is a demographic tool used to track and calculate the mortality rates and life expectancy of a specific group of individuals born in the same year. By following a cohort of individuals from birth until the last person in the group has died, researchers can gather valuable data on how factors such as age, sex, and lifestyle choices impact life expectancy. This information is crucial for understanding population trends and informing public policy decisions related to healthcare, social security, and other areas that are influenced by demographic changes.
