Description: This article describes the development of the uninsured pensioner, UP-94 Mortality Table, including a comparison with other tables and description of projection methodologies using Projection Scale AA.

Description: This paper by the SOA Committee on HIV research builds on past work to show three projections of the future of the AIDS epidemic. These scenarios can provide information to actuaries in considering the financial impact of AIDS for life and health insurance. The paper develops general population AIDS mortality rates related to the three scenarios. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1990, Vol. 42.

Description: In an increasing population the number of persons falls off from age to age more rapidly than does the stationary population of the life table.

The second part of the paper summarizes the results of applying iterative life table techniques to 165 populations which encompass over a century's experience and include countries from all parts of the world.
