Mortality and Health in Germany

Dmitri A. Jdanov, Vladimir M. Shkolnikov, Marina Kolobova, Domantas Jasilionis, Isabella Marinetti; in Collaboration with Sebastian Klüsener, Pavel Grigoriev (both: Federal Institute for Population Research, Wiesbaden, Germany), Rembrandt D. Scholz (MPIDR)

We study survival and health in Germany and their variations across regions and socioeconomic groups. We also investigate the determinants behind the longstanding German disadvantage in life expectancy compared to other high-income countries.  Detailed Description
