How it works

Japan experienced rapid V(15) decline from 1947 to about 1975 for both sexes. — Divergence in age-patterns of mortality change drives international divergence in lifespan inequality
Japan's V(15) showed little net change around the 1980s and increased after about 1990. — Divergence in age-patterns of mortality change drives international divergence in lifespan inequality
Before 1977, below-threshold mortality decline in Japan dominated old-age variance-increasing effects. — Divergence in age-patterns of mortality change drives international divergence in lifespan inequality
After about 1990, weakened young-age mortality decline allowed old-age mortality decline to increase V(15) in Japan. — Divergence in age-patterns of mortality change drives international divergence in lifespan inequality
Japan's postwar pattern is related to rapid development after 1947 and universal healthcare beginning in 1961. — Divergence in age-patterns of mortality change drives international divergence in lifespan inequality
