Life expectancy is a powerful summary measure of life tables. The mortality pattern of a population is influenced by considering the changing trend in the value of life expectancy. These in turn assess the progress of the nation by highlighting the issues of equity, poverty, and gender. One of the important socioeconomic aspects of mankind is the length of working life i.e. in employment status. The employment status of an individual determines economic potentiality, which in turn ensures economic security as well as increases participation rates in society and the economy.
