Education and the Gender Gaps in Health and Mortality
Available to Purchase
Demography (2012) 49 (4): 1157–1183.

.... To further examine the mortality results, we examine specific causes of death. We find that the conditional effect is largest for deaths from lung cancer, respiratory disease, stroke, homicide, suicide, and accidents. Because women report worse health but men’s mortality is higher, education closes...
