Aspecte regionale ale speranţei de viaţă în Republica Moldova

Abstract

In the article, the regional aspects of life expectancy are analyzed based on the calculated abridged life-tables for 2006 year. There is a huge differential of life expectancy between the North and the municipal cities on the one hand and the South and the Centre on the other hand. The contribution of the main age groups to the formation of this regional difference, as well as the correlation between the regional heterogeneity of mortality and population ageing process is shown.
