Abridged Life Tables for Registered Indians in Canada, 1976-1980 to 1996-2000
This paper presents the analyses of the new estimates of abridged life tables comprising life expectancy at birth, and their estimates of variance and confidence limits by males and females for Registered Indians in Canada and two broad regions (East: Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, and Manitoba; and Wes...

This paper presents the analyses of the new estimates of abridged life tables comprising life expectancy at birth, and their estimates of variance and confidence limits by males and females for Registered Indians in Canada and two broad regions (East: Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, and Manitoba; and West: Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon and Northwest Territories) for the periods, 1976-80, 1981-1985, 1986-1990, 1991-1995 and 1996-2000. The life tables were constructed using the Chiang Method based on the adjusted data on deaths and population by age and sex from the Indian Registry, maintained by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, Government of Canada.
