Question

Information of birth rate, death rate, sex ratio, age distribution of a population can be obtained from

• A. Natality table
• B. Mortality table
• C. Age-distribution table
• D. Life table

Answer 1

The correct option is D Life table

Demographic processes such as births, deaths, immigration, and emigration, are those that affect the size and composition of a population. Life tables are tables of data on survivorship and fecundity of individuals within a population. They can then be used to determine age- or stage-specific fecundity and mortality rates, survivorship and basic reproductive rates, which in turn can be compared from cohort to cohort enabling an analysis of their annual variation.

So, the correct answer is option D.
