THE CONSTRUCTING AND THE VIEW OF CURRENT LIFE TABLES.

The commonly used methods of constructing current life tables,both complete and abridged,are summarized in this paper.After a careful comparison,advantages and disadvantages of each method are put forward to.Conclusions are reached that the key of constructing current life tables is how to calculate nq x from nm x and methods,which are easy to understand and calculate,are recommended,since they show shade of differences in results.
