Abstract

The aim of this paper is to extend the analyses of our earlier work (Haberman & Bloomfield, 1988)by incorporating mortality rates of male children categorised by age and social class. Data recently made available in an annex to the Decennial Occupational Mortality Investigation are utilised to produce graduated mortality rates specific for age and social class and to extend the social class specific life tables down to cover the full age range.
