Abstract
Based on 11 German life tables from 1871 to 1986, we study the change of mortality rates of women over the time for fix ages and apply a regression approach to forecast life tables. In a second step, we extrapolate the tail of the life span distribution by fitting a Gompertz distribution. The computations and plots are obtained by using an XPL program.
