Two-regional - rural and urban - life table constructed for India for the year 1971, 1981 and 1991 describes the probability of survivorship and migration and the expectation of life by age, region and place of birth. Basic data required for its construction are taken from Census data of 1971, 1981 and Sample Registration System (SRS) data of these years. Some assumption are made for the year 1991. It is seen from the analysis, specially considering probability of migration and region specific expectation of life, that there is a decreasing trend in the urban to rural migration for either sex and the converse is true for rural to urban migration.
