The purpose of this study is to estimate the number of age-spe-cific death, which was corrected and life expect-ancy.
The basic data for this study were obtained from the 1966 and 1970 census reports of Korea.
In order to correct the number of age-specific death, Brass method was used, and the life table was calculated by Keyfitz´s method.
The following results were obtained.
1. The irregular trend and accumulation of age-specific death for 1965∼1970 was corrected.
2. Crude death rate for 1970 was estimated at 6.9 per 1000 in total, 7.0 for male and 6.8 for female.
Estimated age-specific death rates are shown table 4.
3. The mortality curve shows that a higher rate is under 1 year of age; It drops to the lowest point at 10∼14 years of age and rises again as age increases.
4. Life expectancy at age of zero shows 62.9 years for male and 66.8 years for female.
