Summary Introduction
Introduction: Life table refers to a statistical table which shows the relation between life expectancy and mortality for a given set of people. Births and deaths related to the population can be calculated by studying the data depicted in the life table. The proportion of newborn and net reproductive rate can be calculated by analyzing the data provided in the life table.
