Project

Mortality Disparities at Subnational Level

Conducted by Dmitri A. Jdanov; Domantas Jasilionis, László Németh, Vladimir M. Shkolnikov; in Collaboration with Pekka Martikainen (MPIDR), Magali Barbieri (University of California, Berkeley, USA and French National Institute for Demographic Studies, Paris, France), Vladimir Canudas Romo, Sergey Timonin (both: Australian National University, Canberra, Australia), Lajos Bálint (Hungarian Demographic Research Institute, Budapest, Hungary), Alda Azevedo (University of Lisbon, Portugal), Filipe Ribeiro (University of Évora, Portugal), France Meslé, Jacques Vallin (both: French National Institute for Demographic Studies, Paris, France), Sebastian Klüsener, Pavel Grigoriev (both: Federal Institute for Population Research, Wiesbaden, Germany), Henrik Brønnum-Hansen (University of Copenhagen, Denmark), Daumantas Stumbrys (Vytautas Magnus University, Kaunas, Lithuania)

This project systematically monitors and assesses mortality inequalities across socioeconomic groups and various levels of administrative division. We also test various methods of measuring mortality inequalities. A priority is to monitor trends and compositional changes in the lowest-mortality population groups and regions, considering them as predictors of the future mortality of entire national populations.  Detailed Description
