Abstract:

Data for cohort life tables and its quality is very important information and good data is the basic assumption to construct any model. For cohort life tables information about mortality for 100 years is needed. As is known many regions have problem with some short time periods with weak or no information about mortality patterns in detailed structure. Aim of the paper is to describe possible way how to solve the problem with short periods with low quality data and to evaluate impact of this to the total cohort mortality. Information about cohort mortality is very important for many institutions as pension funds, government and others.
