Ana Cristina Gómez Ugarte Valerio, Ugofilippo Basellini, Carlo Giovanni Camarda, Fanny Janssen, Emilio Zagheni

This project advances methods for studying socioeconomic inequalities in mortality. When high-quality data are available, the project uses age-at-death distributions to improve the assessment of inequalities. In the context of lower-quality data, it develops tools to evaluate the quality of socioeconomic information. Detailed Description
