Talk:Life Expectancy Index

Target page
As the target page already has similar information and a formula to calculate life expectancy, I believe that this information will be more accessible to people there and make more sense to be located there. Nazgul533 talk contribs 21:32, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Just passing through but to check very important
On the page: During the Industrial Revolution, the life expectancy of children increased dramatically. The percentage of the children born in London who died before the age of five decreased from 74.5% in 1730-1749 to 31.8% in 1810-1829.[22]

I suppose we are talking 74.5 per thousand, not percent. As it is often the case with death at birth. Please verify because it seems rather high ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.201.209.244 (talk) 19:13, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Here's a reference explaining the calculation -- someone please add
hi, I'm sorry I don't know how to edit the main page, so could someone please add the following link: http://hdr.undp.org/en/media/HDR_20072008_Tech_Note_1.pdf it's a PDF of the "technical note 1" from the Human Development Reports, and it shows where the formula comes from. In particular, it illustrates in more detail what the denominator values are (which is something that bothered me when I saw the formula on the Wiki page). thanks in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.2.241.105 (talk) 23:30, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Merge 2009; redirected 2014
Merged to Life expectancy on 3 May 2009. Contents edited out at some point, so the target page is no longer relevant. Now redirected to Human Development Index where the contents can be found.  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  15:29, 7 October 2014 (UTC)update
