Mortality trajectory?
Compression or expansion of longevity?
Compression or expansion? Sources: INED period life tables for France and HMD for Sweden
Different increases in life expectancy and mode Sources: INED period life tables for France and HMD for Sweden
Increase in M and decrease in SD(M+), France & Sweden, 1806-2000 Sources: INED period life tables for France and HMD for Sweden
Can we use the HMD?
