- In this paper, we present some features of recent changes in patterns and levels of mortality in the county of Stockholm. Changes in life expectancy at birth and age distribution of deaths for men and women are described, as are patterns of prob¬abilities of death by age and sex of inhabitants of the region. Differentials in mortality patterns between different groups of municipalities in Stockholm are described, and it is shown that the regional variation in mortality is greatest among men of working age. Changes in probabilities of death for men and women between 1990 and 1996 are also presented, revealing a spectacular improvement in the survival chances of children and young adults. These changes do not however have much impact on calculated life expectancies and on the actual number of deceased persons since death rates at younger ages are already extremely low. When making population forecasts, it is therefore more important to consider what assumptions one should make about mortality changes among the elderly in the population. Finally, various assumptions about patterns of future mortality reductions are provided.

- The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of a system for presenting trends in family dynamics in contemporary Sweden. We use annual indexes of birth rates in order to display trends in childbearing for Swedish women over the years since 1961. We use similar annual indexes of marriage risks and divorce risks to display nuptiality trends in Sweden since 1971. We decompose the overall trends in fertility and nuptiality and present separate period indexes for women with different numbers of children. All our indexes are pro¬duced by applying indirect standardisation to register data which cover practically all of the Swedish female population. Our indexes give accurate information about changes in the propensity to give birth, to marry, and to divorce from one year to another.
