aaaThe aim of the project is to construct cohort life tables for the populations living on the territory of the current Czech Republic from 1870. The generation (cohort) life tables will consist of observed life lengths (uncensored observations) of birth cohorts already extinct and incomplete life durations (censored data) of more recent birth cohorts. Incomplete lifetimes will be modeled for unknown remaining lengths of life. Special attention will be given to peculiar birth cohorts, people born during world wars and periods of economic crises. The project will be divided into three subsections:
- data collection,
- life table construction
- methodological documentation and examination of main trends.
Data, life tables, and all descriptions and elementary analyses will be prepared in an electronic format and put on the website in order to be available to public. The project provides new information in regards to cohort mortality in the Czech Republic and it will bring new practical and analytical tools to other disciplines and branches.
