implications of a given year’s mortality rates, reveal a peak in inequality followed (in 3 of the 4 countries) by appreciable …The measurement of inequality is often made using observed population-based distributions, such as the distribution of … income or the distribution of members of different groups across neighborhoods. Unfortunately, such distributions confound …

This paper presents a toolkit for measuring and analyzing inter-individual inequality in length of life by Gini … coefficient. Gini coefficient and four other inequality measures are defined on the length-of-life distribution. Properties of … these measures and their empirical testing on mortality data suggest a possibility for different judgements about the …

conditions this assumption is appropriate, or how to compare their responses to the underlying mortality schedule. We compare … underlying sensitivities to mortality change under different mortality regimes in order to test under which conditions the …

-based testing may eliminate this source of inequality between those tested and those not tested. This result, which is stable across …

life is inversely related to the Gompertz slope of log mortality through age, and we reveal its relationship to variance in … a multiplicative frailty index. Our findings bear a variety of implications for modeling and forecasting mortality. In …

Trends in child mortality disparities show that within country inequities have remained constant in some countries and …
