How it works

Lifespan inequality is measured as the variance in age at death and represents dispersion around the mean age at death. — Divergence in age-patterns of mortality change drives international divergence in lifespan inequality
Lifespan inequality can either decrease or increase after mortality decline depending on the age at which mortality falls. — Divergence in age-patterns of mortality change drives international divergence in lifespan inequality
Adult lifespan inequality V(15) excludes infant and childhood mortality and is the study's main adult inequality measure. — Divergence in age-patterns of mortality change drives international divergence in lifespan inequality
Life expectancy alone is inadequate for assessing demographic progress because it can hide divergence in young adult mortality and lifespan inequality. — Divergence in age-patterns of mortality change drives international divergence in lifespan inequality
Postwar fluctuations in adult lifespan inequality were mainly driven by mortality changes at young working ages. — Divergence in age-patterns of mortality change drives international divergence in lifespan inequality
