Life Tables for the United States Social Security Area 1900-2100. Actuarial Study No. 116

摘要

Each year, estimates of future income and expenditures of the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program are presented to the Congress in the Annual Report of the Board of Trustees. These estimates illustrate possible scenarios of the future financial position of the OASDI program, under present law, and thus are valuable in the policy making process for the program. To produce these financial estimates, projections of the population in the Social Security coverage area are needed. One of the essential components of population projections is a projection of mortality, which is the subject of this study. For the 2002 Trustees Report, three separate projections intermediate, low cost, high cost--were prepared.
