Two-dimensional contour decomposition
BACKGROUND: Conventional decomposition analysis identifies contributions from differences in covariates in total between-population difference, but does not address the question of the historical roots of the differences. To close this gap, the contour decomposition method was proposed. Since 2017, when it was published, this method has been successfully applied in several papers. Nevertheless, it has an important limitation: causes of death cann…
Socioeconomic disparities in life expectancy gains among retired German men, 1997–2016
BACKGROUND: Although estimates of socioeconomic mortality disparities in Germany exist, the trends in these disparities since the 1990s are still unknown. This study examines mortality trends across socioeconomic groups since the late 1990s among retired German men aged 65 and above. METHODS: Large administrative data sets were used to estimate mortality among retired German men, grouped according to their working-life biographies. The data cover…
Socio-economic determinants of divorce in Lithuania
Most existing evidence on the socio-economic predictors of divorce in developed countries comes from the USA and from Western and Northern Europe. This study contributes to the scarce literature about socio-economic determinants of divorce in Central and E
Trends, patterns, and determinants of regional mortality in Belarus, 1990-2007
We report analyses of regional trends in overall and cause-specific mortality in Belarus for the period 1990-2007. We explore the respective spatial patterns and attempt to determine the factors responsible for the regional mortality variation. The results show that inter-regional mortality differentials tend to rise, mainly because of the growing advantage of the capital over other regions. The increasing variation is associated with diverging t…
Components and possible determinants of decrease in Russian mortality in 2004-2010
After a long decline, life expectancy in Russia substantially increased in 2004-2010; this is the longest period of health improvement that has been observed in the country since 1965. This study is the first analysis of this positive trend

Concentration of Working-Age Male Mortality Among Manual Workers in Urban Latvia and Russia, 1970–1989
Until recently data on mortality by socioeconomic status were not available for the initial period of mortality increase in the former Soviet Union from 1965 to 1979. Newly discovered data from the Russian State Archive of Economics allow us to close this gap and to compare mortality trends in urban Latvia and several urban areas of Russia with the concentration of rising male mortality among manual workers already found in several eastern Europe…

Estimates of mortality and population changes in England and Wales over the two World Wars
Almost one million soldiers from England and Wales died during the First and Second World War whilst serving in the British Armed Forces. Although many articles and books have been published that commemorate the military efforts of the British Armed Fo
Geographical diversity of cause-of-death patterns and trends in Russia
This paper performs a systematic analysis of all currently available Russian data on mortality by region, census year (1970, 1979, 1989, and 1994) and cause of death. It investigates what links may be found between these geographical variations in caus
Educational differentials in male mortality in Russia and northern Europe
Background: Prior estimates of the Russian mortality by socio-demographic group revealed significant differentials around the censuses of 1979 and 1989, but these studies were based on different sources of information on education for the deceased
Russian mortality beyond vital statistics
Analyses of routine data have established that the extreme mortality fluctuations among young and middle-aged men are the most important single component of both temporal changes in Russian life expectancy at birth and in the gap between male and femal

Life expectancy in two Caucasian countries. How much due to overestimated population
This study is a first attempt to produce reliable estimates of mortality in Georgia and Armenia in the 1990s. Official statistics registered a decrease in mortality over the 1990s in spite of local wars, mass flows of refugees, and severe economic hard

Russia : an unprecedented sanitary Crisis. While life expectancy was continuously increasing in most European countries during the last decades, progress has been stopped in some Eastern European countries since the mid-60s. Cardiovascular diseases play a major part in these contrasting trends. Mortality due to these conditions is decreasing in the Western part of Europe while it has dramatically increased on the Eastern side. The case of the rep…
Changing mortality patterns in East and West Germany and Poland. I
METHODS Decomposition of life expectancy by age and cause of death. Differences in life expectancy at birth between the former GDR and the old FRG were decomposed by age using data on all cause mortality for the period 1960 to 1997. Changes in life expectancy over time by cause of death were examined using data for 1974 and 1989 for both parts of Germany and for 1974 and 1988 for Poland
Changing mortality patterns in East and West Germany and Poland. II
METHODS Decomposition of life expectancy by age and cause of death. Changes in life expectancy during transition by cause of death were examined using data for 1988/89 and 1990/91 for the former GDR and Poland; examination of life expectancy changes after transition were based on 1992–97 data for Germany and 1991–96 data for Poland
Economic change, crime, and mortality crisis in Russia
Objective : To identify which aspects of socioeconomic change were associated with the steep decline in life expectancy in Russia between 1990 and 1994. Design : Regression analysis of regional data, with percentage fall in male life expectancy as dependent variable and a range of socioeconomic measures reflecting transition, change in income, inequity, and social cohesion as independent variables. Determination of contribution of deaths from maj…

La mortalité en Russie
Dans les quinze dernières années, l'espérance de vie en Russie a été soumise à de très larges fluctuations. La forte augmentation observée en 1985-86 a été suivie d'une baisse d'ampleur équivalente jusqu'en 1992. En 1993, la détérioration s'est amplifiée. Ces différents mouvements tiennent essentiellement aux variations de la mortalité aux âges actifs. Ils sont étroitement liés, d'une part, aux mesures anti-alcooliques prises par Gorbatchev en 19…
