Abstract

In the present paper is to analyze and compare the projection of future mortality through the expectation of life by applying a different methodology than usual in the actuarial field. This methodology is to use a specific type of transformations such as those of Wang. Basically this tool "transform" the survival function across the horizon of future life of a person into its component Z-score using the standard normal distribution. The behavior of the Z-score provides a vision of the future evolution of mortality improvement over the calendar year
