About This Document

This article analyzes the changing age distribution of deaths and mortality rates in Norway since 1950 to 2014 using life tables. It also examines the changes in male and female infant mortality rates, female lowest age-specific death rate dynamics, and female life table functions. The findings suggest that the number of deaths within each age interval in Norway from 1950 to 2014 has remained constant, and the number of years one is expected to live beyond life expectation has improved gradually.

Life tables 2Introduction Population size is a characteristic that is very dynamic. It is never constant. It is either increasingor decreasing every moment of the time (Kenneth, 2009). It is therefore imperative forgovernment to keep abreast of its population dynamics in order to be able to provide for its basicneeds such as health, infrastructure and education among others (Donna, 2011). Norway is oneof the countries that have taken keen interest in the dynamics of its population in order to providefor it efficiently. The sections that follow entail data analysis, findings, discussion andconclusion regarding life tables and deaths.a.Changing age distribution of deaths since 1950 to 20140.5-915-1925-2935-3945-4955-5965-6975-7985-8995-99105-109050000100000150000200000250000300000350000400000450000500000Observed death by age Figure 1The figure 1 above shows number of deaths according to age distribution. It can be seen that thedistribution of deaths across the ages is not normal but skewed to the right. It has a long tail tothe left. From the distribution above, it is observed that most of the deaths occur between 55years and 94 years. Fewer deaths can be seen in the age groups between 0 to 49 years and over99 years.
