Number of births per year from 1901 to 2024
Note: Provisional 2024 data.
Scope: Metropolitan France until 1993, France excluding Mayotte until 2014 and including Mayotte from 2014.
Source: Insee, statistics and civil status estimates.
What interests us is not whether more people died in 2019 than in 2014 because there were more elderly people, but whether mortality conditions were "better" in 2019 than in 2014, that is, whether they led to an gambling data india increase in life expectancy or not. The life expectancy indicator, because it "neutralizes" differences in age structure, is the obvious indicator; with "fictitious generation" reasoning, we apply probabilities of death by age to this generation, without ever considering the size of generations or the population size of a given age.
Life expectancy is the most suitable indicator for comparing mortality conditions over time (Blanpain, 2018), but also over space, for example between countries that do not have the same number of inhabitants or the same age structure (Pison and Belloc, 2005).
