The Rates of Mortality among the Natives of India as deduced from the recent Census Returns

Abstract

Having had occasion, in connection with the recent Indian Census, to investigate the question of native mortality as prevailing in the various Indian Provinces, a short statement of the methods employed and the results obtained may perhaps be of interest to the members of the Institute of Actuaries. The problem presented and methods employed belong distinctly to the work of the Actuary, although the results may, perhaps, have more interest for the Statistician.
