Long-term impact of mortality on population age structures
In this study, we tested the hypothesis that mortality has a greater influence than fertility on shaping population age structures in the long run and that recent mortality rates provide a satisfactory initial approximation for describing observed age structures in most empirical cases. In the theoretical part of this article, we elucidate a potential fallacy in the line of reasoning based on simulations and counterfactuals frequently used to att…
The Effect of the Great Recession on Italian Life Expectancy
The 2008 economic crisis, also called the Great Recession, produced only a moderate rise in unemployment in Italy, but the consequences for public debt management were far more serious. Italy makes for a good case study for evaluating the effect on life expectancy at birth of the cost containment program in the health care system, implemented after the crisis began. To this end we employed the Artificial Control method using the data from the Hum…
The long-term effect of the Great Recession on European mortality
Some European countries, such as Greece and Spain, were severely hit by the 2008 economic crisis whereas others, such as Germany, were practically spared by it. This divergence allowed us to implement a difference in differences research design which offered the possibility to observe the long-lasting effects produced by the crisis on European life expectancy. Our analysis-based on Eurostat data from 2001 to 2019-shows that life expectancy increa…
Rethinking mortality deceleration
The evolution of mortality shows a marked deceleration at older ages. This phenomenon is generally thought to be an effect of selection: mortality decelerates because it progressively selects the most robust individuals in the cohort. Other processes, however, may contribute to mortality deceleration as well. People may not be passive in the face of ageing and may try to counter it by modifying their behaviours and lifestyles. In this paper, I pr…
Earlier and more rapid ageing
This paper estimated three parameters related to demographic ageing, i.e., the acce-leration in mortality rates as people get older. These parameters are: (i) the age when the process begins (onset), (ii) the rate of ageing in a (simple) Gompertz model and (iii) the rate of ageing in a (more elaborate) Gamma-Gompertz model. These three indicators were estimated on the basis of female cohorts born in seven European countries between 1890 and 1919.…
On the Beginning of Mortality Acceleration
Physiological senescence is characterized by the increasing limitation of capabilities of an organism resulting from the progressive accumulation of molecular damage, which at group (cohort) level translates into, among other things, an increase in mortality risks with age. Physiological senescence is generally thought to begin at birth, if not earlier, but models of demographic aging (i.e., an increase in mortality risks) normally start at consi…
Comparaison des taux de sénescence dans le temps et l'espace
Aux âges adultes, la force de mortalité s'accroît de façon plus ou moins exponentielle avec l'âge, et le paramètre associé à l'âge, ? , permet d'évaluer le taux de sénescence (vieillissement) d'une génération. L'hypothèse a été récemment avancée que le taux de sénescence au niveau individuel serait une constante biologique, proche de 0,1. Cet article contribue au débat de deux façons : il propose d'abord une méthode simple fondée sur une analyse …
