...Adeline Delavande; Susann Rohwedder Abstract Cross-country comparisons of differential survival by socioeconomic status (SES) are useful in many domains. Yet, to date, such studies have been rare. Reliably estimating differential survival in a single country has been challenging because it requires...

.... While proportions alive are consistently larger for women (blue colors), the proportions that are healthy are always higher among men (red colors). Sex differentials in both proportions show increasing trends over time. However, the sex gap in surviving is considerably larger than the health gap...

... years through decennial censuses. Differential survival is inferred from changes in the relative proportions of a cohort in each education category as the cohort ages. In cross-section, younger persons generally show stronger education effects on survival, although this pattern is clearer for women than...

... these often-quoted tables are reproduced in Appendix Table A-1 for convenient reference. The paper divides into two main parts. First, mortality levels and differentials beyond early childhood are derived, without use of the existing vital records, by interpreting the series of ten-year cumulative survival...

... in median years of school completed, by urban and rural areas of southern states. Whites, of course, have higher average levels of education, but the important point is the increasing differential between whites and nonwhites. The differences do not increase in all southern states, but they did increase...

...Thomas W. Merrick Abstract The effects of access to piped water on the trends in child mortality and on differentials by income class are analyzed using data on surviving children and other variables in samples of urban mothers aged 20–29 in 1970 and 1976. Path analytic regression techniques...

... and native-foreign differentials which lie between those of the other mod- els. A further test of the Surviving Children Method would be whether it is sensitive to the choice of age group of women. It turns out that it does appear to be, as may be seen in Table 5. Child mortality estimates are lowest...

... underlying the income effects are not evident from this analysis: income differentials in sources of household drinking water, type of toilet facilities, and ma- ternal demographic characteristics do not explain the net impact of income on child mortality. The absence of effectson child survival of the size...

...; and observation of net estates for most cohorts is truncated, as some individuals in a cohort survive the calendar date on which observation is terminated. These two problems are solved in estimating cohort wealth for a sample of Wisconsin taxpayers. Hazard rate models of differential occupational mortality risks...

... the adult ages are widening. In other words, the female superiority in life expectancy at birth is progressively brought about by an increasing advan- tage in female survival beyond the adult phase. Table 6 amplifies this observa- tion. The sex differentials in white mor- tality both around 1850 and around...

.... However, surviving partnerships tend to be emotionally and physically satisfying and are marked by relatively frequent sex. In contrast to sex, nonsexual intimacy is highly prevalent at older ages, especially among women. Older adults are also socially resilient—adapting to the loss of social ties...

... 1990s and that these reductions were predominately contributed by cohort effects. Cohort effects are found to differ by specific causes of death examined, but they generally show substantial survival improvements. Implications of these results are discussed with regard to demographic theories...

... among male children. To isolate the effect of son preference from the male differential mortality, Eq. ( 1 ) controls for the survival status of the first child. The regression sample is restricted to the women with a singleton first birth, who represent 99.1 % of the total sample. Although...

... of subsequent fertility. Numbers of children surviving to age 14 also increased. Twin births also show no differential effect on fertility when they occurred at high parities; this finding is in contrast to populations where fertility is known to have been controlled by at least some families...

...-Sectional Data Sources Survivorship ratios can be used to compare the survival probabilities of subgroups within a cohort closed to all forms of migration. Let x indicate the presence and x in- dicate the absence of some time-invariant trait or charac- teristic thought to be associated with differential...
