Terms and Definitions
Life expectancy refers to the estimated average number of years a person is expected to live, given the current mortality rates in a specific region or nation. It is often used as an indicator of the health and well-being of a population.
Mortality rate is a measure of the number of deaths in a particular population, scaled to the size of that population, over a specific period. It is usually expressed as deaths per 1,000 individuals per year, and is a crucial factor in calculating life expectancy.
Birth rate refers to the number of live births per 1,000 individuals in a population in a year. It is a key demographic indicator, which along with mortality and immigration rates, determine the growth or decline of a population.
