Canadian life tables, 1931 [electronic resource] / by Nathan Keyfitz. Ottawa : Dominion Bureau of Statistics, 1937 (J.O. Patenaude, Printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty) 72 p. : graphs Census monograph ; no.13 Cover title. "Reprinted from Volume XIII [i.e. XII], Seventh census of Canada, 1931". Chiefly tables. Historical census publication digitized 2010 [by Statistics Canada]. Includes bibliographical references. "In this volume are published the first Canadian Life Tables issued under official imprimatur. The Registration Area of Canada was extended to include the nine provinces only in 1926; previous to the 1931 Census, therefore, no national Life Table could be constructed, using, as is now the almost universal practice, deaths of the three years about the census date. As the figures of deaths for the Yukon and the Northwest Territories are not on the same comprehensive basis as those of the nine provinces, they were not included for the purpose of these tables. ... The tables that follow are discussed in a general way in the accompanying text. Among points referred to are (1) the considerable differences in mortality between the sexes; (2) the differences between Canada's regional divisions, which exist most markedly at the middle ages of life; (3) differences between Canada on the one hand and England and Wales and the United States on the other, Canada showing on the whole a considerably lower mortality; (4) a comparison of mortality in the Registration Area of 1921 {i.e., Canada excluding Quebec) with mortality for the same area in 1931, showing a definite decline in mortality rates at all but senile ages"--Pref., p.
