| Annotation | In an examination of survival rates in Japan, annual numbers of births and age cohort life tables for men and women are applied to four equations, three with respect to changes in age distribution (cohort approach), and one with respect to average age (period approach). This study confirms that cohort survival improvements have largely contributed to changes in the proportion of older people and the average age since the late 1970s. Particularly, the cohort survival effects for over 65s at the time concerned was great. It is expected that the birth effect will increase when the baby-boom cohort swells the aged population in the near future. (RH). |
