This research attempts firstly to estimate both the level and shape of the mortality curve of the Black South African population group circa 1985 by the application of indirect demographic techniques to the reported deaths for Blacks for the period 1984- 86 and an estimate of the Black population in mid-1985. The life tables thus produced are then combined with the official South African Life Tables for Whites, Coloureds and Asians to produce a weighted average national life tables circa 1985. These national life tables are then compared with those produced by applying the Bennett and Horiuchi method to national data for the 1984-86 period in order to decide on suitable adjustments to make when applying the Bennett and Horiuchi method to national data for the period 1989-91 and beyond. 2014-11-11T12:56:47Z 2014-11-11T12:56:47Z 1998 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9558 eng application/pdf Division of Actuarial Science Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
