This paper presents the results on the construction of a Working Life Table for males in Ghana, 1960. Comparisons of working life tables for Ghana and other industrialized countries such as the United States, England and Wales are made. In addition, some aspects of the uses of working life tables are considered, particularly the examination of annual losses from the actual working population and the factors determining the pattern of losses. It was estimated that out of the total number who left the working population of Ghana in 1960, 89.9% left on account of death and only 10.1% left on account of causes other than death. The total loss rate for Ghana in 1960 amounted to 23.3 per 1000 male working population; made up of rates 20.9 per 1000 for losses due to death and 2.4 per 1000 for losses due to retirement and other causes respectively.
