  1. Towards advanced methods on computing life tablesSixto Muriel de la Riva, Margarita Cantalapiedra Malaguilla and Federico López Carrión Directorate of Population Statistics National Statistics Institute of Spain Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  2. New life tables methods in order to get some ambitous objectives • Maximum use of available information. • Methodological consistency and rigor in definitions of biometric functions of the life table. • Capturing the annual incidence of mortality. • Accuracy on measuring mortality risks at advanced ages. • Regular measures of mortality incidence over subpopulations. • International comparability. • Easier interpretation of life tables results for users. Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  3. Three methods tested for national level Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  4. Option1: uniform distribution of deaths on Lexis squares Specific mortality rate by sex and age: Uniform time distribution of deaths within a year: a(x,s)=1/2 Probability of death by sex and age: Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  5. Option 2: uniform distribution of deaths on Lexis triangles Specific mortality rate by sex and age (following HMD protocols): Probability of death by sex and age: Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  6. Specific mortality rate by sex and age: b= (+) b= (-) X+1 Average number of year lived in the last year of live: X t Option 3: real time distribution of death events Why do not we use all available information we have? Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  7. Differences in mortality curve are negligibles... Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  8. …except for advanced ages Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  9. Deviations in mortality risk are due to the different estimation of a(x) too Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  10. In spite of all, life expectancy shows a robust behaviour… Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  11. …but options 1 and 2 shows a light underestimation of life expectancy Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  12. Conclussions related to national life tables • The three options capture annual incidence of mortality. • The three options keep methodological consistency. • Option 3 maximizes the use of all available data. • Option 3 reachs the highest accuracy in measuring mortality incidence and life expectancies. Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  13. Three methods tested for regions and provinces Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  14. Option 1: abbreviated life tables by five years age intervals Specific mortality rate by sex and age: Average number of year lived in the last group of years of life: Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  15. Option 2: aggregated results by five years of age groups from complete life tables From a complete life table survivors function (l(x,s)) and stationary population (L(x,n,s) Deaths serie: Probability of dying: Average number of year lived in the last goup of years of life: Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  16. Option 3: complete life tables adjusted by the Brass logits method Relation between regional and national survivors (logits): Deaths serie: Probability of dying: Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  17. Option 1 does not avoid the effect of the age structure within each age group… Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  18. …and, consequently, option1 overestimates life expectancies Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  19. Neverthelles, sometimes the randomness of deaths data distorts the analysis Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  20. Option 3 provides detailed results, assuming light deviations from real data… Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  21. …however, option 3 imports distortions in life expectancy at advanced ages Joint Eurostat-UNECE Work Session on Demographic Projections. Lisbon, 28-30 April 2010.

  22. Conclussions related to regional life tables • The three options avoid problems of small sizes populations: randomness of deaths data and lower accuracy of population estimates. • Option 1 does not clean the effect of age estructure of population within each age interval. • Option 3 provides detailed results by simple ages, but causes distorsions in advanced ages. • Option 2 keeps complete consistency with a complete life table, avoiding problems of small sizes populations.
