The Human Mortality Database (HMD) was created to provide detailed mortality and population data to researchers, students, journalists, policy analysts, and others interested in the history of human longevity.

The main objectives of this data collection effort were to
assemble a set of cross-nationally comparable microdata samples based on

and North America, and to use these samples to study the social and
economic conditions of older persons. The samples are designed to allow
research on a wide range of issues related to aging, as well as on other
social phenomena. Data collected in the 1989 Lithuanian census examined

employment history. Also gathered was demographic information on
household members, including age, sex, ethnic background, marital
