Question
A student is looking for:
Life expectancy at birth for 1960, Both sexes and male and female, Canada and Provinces
and
Life tables for 2001, Both sexes and male and female, Canada and Provinces
Answer
Life tables (which are very comprehensive tables looking at Life Expectancy at different ages, ie. The life expectancy of a one year old, a two year old etc.-these are often used by insurance companies) were not produced back in 1960. Life Tables are centred around a Census year and also require three years of mortality data. So, the next tables will be centred around the 2001 Census and require death data from 2000, 2001, and 2002. We now have a complete file for 2002, and so are beginning work on the Life
Tables. They will not be released until 2005 (they are extremely complex tables). The earliest I have is 1985-1987 (paper publication). The following link will take you to the most recent. As I said, they are fairly complex tables. Now in terms of life expectancy at birth (as opposed to life expectancy of one year olds, etc), we do produce that annually. It is included in our annual 'Deaths' publication (catalogue #84F0211). It is also usually included in the 'Daily' so if you do a Daily search under 'Deaths' it will
give you that info. The second link will take you there. We have also just released 2002 data, which is in the third link.
