| Popis: | In this study we confine our observations to Canada and evaluate three questions: (1) What causes of death have contributed to the narrowing of the sex difference in life expectancy between 1971 and 1991? (2) What is the relative contribution of different causes of death to the survival discrepancy within specified age categories? (3) How have cause-specific mortality differences between the sexes changed over time in their impacts on the differential in life expectation? In our discussion section we assess the relevance of our empirical results to the substantive issues underlying this investigation namely the importance of bio-demographic and sociological factors for the onset of reversal in the sex gap in death probabilities.
