Abstract: Abstract In the mid 1970s, Professor Andrei Rogers (1975) proposed adapting the life table methodology for regional analysis. The classic demographic approach often abstracted migration, which was considered to be a disrupting phenomenon. Rogers had the idea that migration could be taken into account explicitly by using a multi-regional table which would make it possible to calculate, for example, the share of life expectancy spent in a specific region (or country). The multi-regional model he developed is now an integral part of the demographer’s toolkit.
