Pseudo-Cohort Approach in the Mortality Analysis of the Population of Serbia - Examples and Problems

Summary/Abstract: This article consists of four segments: Introductory considerations, work methodology, results and discussion, and conclusion. Within the introductory considerations was discussed about historical continuity and significance of the mortality survey of the population.Here are presented basic characteristics of the pseudo-cohort method, its advantages and disadvantages, as well as examples of the previous use of this method in the literature. The second part is about the methodological research framework of this article. The space and time frameworks of this paper were defined and the literature used for this research was presented. Also, the method of constructing pseudo-cohorts in our analysis and the details of this research are presented here. The results and discussion part speak of the benefits that pseudo-cohort method provides in the analysis of population mortality trends in relation to the commonly used mortality indicators. Through the analysis of the results has been shown the significance of the cohort in the dimensioning of the inter generational changes in mortality and the existence of specificities within certain generations. The analysis of the obtained results has shown as a dominant the significance of the effect of the period, i.e.historical epochs, and value changes of the population mortality. The analysis pointed out the differences in age levels of mortality among different generations and the continuity of reducing mortality levels of old people. The final observations sublime the obtained results of use of pseudo-cohort method based on changes in the population mortality rate of the Republic of Serbia from the second half of the XX century to the present day. The authors of this article suggest that this research can be a base for future use of this particular method in demographic research.
