Mortality by cause of death and by socio-economic and demographic stratification

Document description

There is a wide range of information on the twin issues of mortality by cause of death and mortality by socio-economic and demographic stratification. The subjects are of interest to actuaries working in fields such as product design, underwriting, valuing portfolios of pensions, annuities and life assurance, developing mortality-based securities, in social policy and in the work of analysing the past and projecting future trends in mortality and longevity.

Drawing from international and national mortality and longevity analyses and actuarial papers, this paper covers, with references, areas of particular interest to actuaries.
