title: Brazil: model life tables and stable population.
abstract: "In the 1974 Meeting of the Brazilian Association for Population Studies, Frias and Leite presented a set of model life tables that were meant to reflect the sex-age structure of Brazilian mortality. A later examination of this study revealed the need for revision and further development in order to improve this valid piece of work." The present article reviews and complements the earlier study.
