"....The main objective of this report is to compile and summarize
available information about levels and trends of mortality and life
expectancy for national populations. 

 

".....Aside from a comparison of mortality data from different sources,
the report permits an assessment of gaps in information. This exercise
can provide crucial insights, especially given the ongoing efforts to
combat child mortality and HIV/AIDS necessary to reach the United
Nations Millenium Development Goals and the need for data to validate
progress made in these areas. The World Mortality Report 2005 provides a
broad overview of mortality changes in all countries of the world during
the latter half of the 20th century...."
