A pair model to describe the life expectancy at birth in India
摘要
This study aims to identify the most accurate pair model for predicting the life expectancy at birth (e0) at national and subnational levels, including men and women, by rural and urban areas, and which model provides the closest estimates of observed e0 in the Sample Registration System (SRS) and the National Family Health Survey (NFHS). Furthermore, the decomposition method is applied to e0 differences to identify mortality pattern differentials between SRS and NFHS in same reference period. The life table were constructed from the Chiang method using SRS statistical report 2015, 2020; NFHS-4 (2015-16); and NFHS-5 (2019-21), then after pair model such as, Brass logit, Splicing, and Modified logit were used to calculate age pattern of mortality and e0 using under-five mortality rate and adult mortality rate for 2015 and 2020 at national and subnational levels. The results reveal that the Splicing model’s age pattern of mortality and e0 is the closest to the Chiang method compared to the Brass logit and Modified logit models at both national and subnational levels, among men and women in the SRS and NFHS. The differences in
