In May 2012, the Human Mortality Database (HMD) Example of country data page As of May 2012 the database contains detailed celebrates its 10th anniversary. Over the past decade, population and mortality data for 37 countries the HMD has become a very popular data source for (and some sub-populations): use in demographic analysis. More than 20,000 users worldwide have registered on the HMD website. Country/Area Period Life Tables Cohort Life Tables
The HMD was created to provide detailed mortality and Australia 1921-2009 - population data to researchers, students, journalists, Austria 1947-2010 - policy analysts, and others interested in the history of Belarus 1959-2010 - Belgium 1841-2009 - human longevity.
