| Annotation | These decennial life tables are the seventeenth in the series which began after the 1841 Census. ELT17 is produced using data from the 3-year period 2010, 2011 and 2012. It provides period life expectancy for males and females by single year of age for the 3-year period centred on a census. A 3-year period is normally of sufficient length to smooth out most of the effect if the mortality experience of the census year itself happens not to be typical of the general level of mortality at the beginning of the decade. ELT17 tabulates period expectations of life for England and Wales for 1910-12 to 2010-12, and finds that over the last 100 years, life expectancy at birth has increased by nearly 3 years per decade. For males, life expectancy at birth increased from 51 years in 1910-1912 to 79 years in 2010-12, while for females it increased from 55 to 83 years. Much of this increase is due to improvements in infant and child mortality in the first half of the 20th century, while gains in life expectancy at older ages have mainly occurred in the last 50 years. People aged 60 could expect to live around 9 years longer in 2010-2012 than 100 years earlier. The previous set of English Life Tables (ELT16) for 2000-2002 was published in June 2009. (RH). |
