Methods for constructing life tables for Canada, provinces and territories / report prepared by Demography Division.: CS84-538/2018-2E-PDF
This methodology document is divided into three parts. The first part presents data sources and steps for the construction of complete life tables. These tables are calculated for Canada and all of the provinces except Prince Edward Island. Complete life tables have the advantage of being more detailed than abridged tables, especially for old ages, where the decline in mortality has been concentrated for some years now.The second part presents data sources and steps for the construction of the abridged life tables used for Prince Edward Island, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Abridged life tables must be used when population sizes and death counts are too small to calculate complete life tables accurately"--Introduction, p. 3.
