Working Paper 8 - Considerations for the Graduation of the 1999-2002 Mortality Experience

Working Paper 8 has been produced by the CMI's Mortality Graduation Working Party, and sets out its initial findings and proposals relating to the graduation of a new suite of standard mortality tables.

A draft version of this Working Paper was published in May 2004, and formed the basis for discussion at a seminar held at Staple Inn on 4 June 2004. The Mortality Sub-Committee has approved this final version of Working Paper 8 for publication. It contains a number of amendments, but is largely the same as the earlier draft. A summary of the changes made since the draft version will be included in a feedback Working Paper, to be published in due course.

The Mortality Sub-Committee would like to thank the participants at the seminar and those who made written submissions for the contributions thay have made.
