Complete Life Tables
Complete Life Tables – 2010
In compliance with Article 2, of the Presidential Decree 3266 of November 29, 1999, IBGE annually publishes the Complete Life Tables, relative to the previous year, on the first working day of December. The data are used in the calculus of the social security factor for retirement purposes.
Life Table 2010 is a projection based on the mortality rates calculated for 1980, 1991 and 2000, which resulted from a long discussion during a workshop featuring technicians of the Department of Population and Social Indicators (COPIS/DPE/IBGE) and of the Latin American and Caribbean Demographic Center (CELADE/CEPAL/UNO), carried out from March, 24 to 28, 2003, in Santiago, Chile.
The Life Table of 2011, to be released on November 29 of 2012, will include the information about population and deaths, by sex and age, from the 2010 Population Census, and the vital statistics from the Civil Registry Statistics of the same year. That is a necessary updating procedure when working with indicators and/or prospective demographic models. Furthermore, the updated data will contribute to generate Brazil mortality updated parameters for the Population Prospects by Sex and Age for the Period of 1980-2050 - Revision 2012.
