Abstract: Abstract The chapter on observed death rates illustrates why demographic rates need to be adjusted by the number of person years lived and shows surface maps of such “raw” death rates for a few selected national populations. One can easily see that random fluctuations can turn out be problematic for smaller populations as they may lead to misinterpretations.
