Estimating the Age-specific Mortality Rates for Female Population of 54 World’s Most Populous Countries

Abstract

If net migration is negligible, the structure of the by the births and deaths rate. Using of the population of the country is regulated we adopted the departure rate a common demographic concept, in our study, I to estimate the female mortality from population data. For this study, we used the data from US census bu from the website of the US Census Bu census bureau which are freely available Bureau to estimate age-specific mortality rates for female populations in 54 of the world's most populous countries. The method involves first estimating mortality rates for those countries with negligible net age-specific emigration then applying these rates to countries with matching mortality at older ages where it is reasonable to assume that migration is negligible. The result showed that most of the developing countries had a higher female infant mortality as well as the older age of the female, but in the developed countries, the female mortality rate was estimated relatively higher in the middle age of female but lower in infant. All the three models of the deviations were found for the estimation of female mortality based on the accurate population data, which lead to the estimation of female mortality and derived the model. Finally method used in this study is proven to be easy, efficient and appropriate in estimating mortality rates, especially for low net migration countries. However, the effect of migration must be filtered out by using the models of departure rates for high migration countries.
