The aim of this paper is to construct an abridged life table by cause of death for the population of Greece by sex for the years 2018-2020. In the first chapter, we will define the concept of mortality, its usefulness, as well as indicators used to assess levels of mortality. Then, we will discuss briefly the main causes of death in Greece and Europe.
In the second chapter, we will describe the two methods we will use to construct an abridged life table by cause of death. In particular, we will discuss how each method works and what indicators and calculations are needed to carry out the construction.
In chapter three, after constructing an abridged life table by sex separately, forall causes of death, we will then proceed to construct an abridged life table by cause of death, using the two methods. The first method is based on the principle of “elimination of cause of death” while the second method is by constructing a multiple decrement life table.
In the fourth and final section, we will report the main conclusions we reached using the above mentioned two different methods. The data used in the analysis were obtained from the Hellenic Statistical Authority.
