What is a period life table?

A period life table is a demographic tool used to calculate life expectancy and mortality rates for a specific period of time. It is often used by researchers, policymakers, and insurance companies to analyze mortality and population trends. Period life tables provide valuable insights into how long individuals are expected to live and the likelihood of surviving to certain ages. They are calculated based on age-specific mortality rates and other demographic data, allowing for comparisons between different populations or time periods.
