Mortality Inequality in Canada and the United States: Divergent or Convergent Trends?
比较1990/91至2010/11年间加拿大和美国死亡率不平等的变化趋势，发现加拿大年轻群体不平等稳定、年长群体上升，而美国儿童和青少年不平等下降，两国婴儿和儿童死亡率趋于接近。
Mortality is a crucial indicator of well-being, and recent mortality trends have been a subject of public debate in many Western countries. This paper compares mortality inequality in Canada and the United States over the period 1990/91 through 2010/11. In Canada, mortality inequality remained constant among the youngest but increased for men over 24 and women over 14. In contrast, in the United States, mortality inequality fell for children and youth and either modestly increased or held steady at older ages. By 2010/11, the initially higher US rates of infant and child mortality had almost converged to their Canadian counterparts.
