Keyfitz Entropy
Keyfitz's entropy, usually written H, is a dimensionless summary of a life table that measures how sensitive life expectancy is to a proportional change in mortality, and equivalently how unequal the distribution of ages at death is. Introduced by Nathan Keyfitz, it is the elasticity of life expectancy at birth with respect to the force of mortality: an H near one means deaths are spread across all ages so that reducing mortality everywhere lengthens life proportionally, while an H near zero means deaths are concentrated near the maximum lifespan so further mortality reductions yield little gain. It bridges the demography of survival and the broader study of lifespan inequality.
