New Publication – Social inequality in mortality beyond the age of 65 – The case of Belgium

Social inequalities in mortality beyond the age of 65 are an important issue in the current context of population ageing, increased life expectancy and policies aimed at extending the legal retirement age. Members of the INEQKILL team just published an article looking into these inequalites in Belgium. They investigated if social inequalities in cause-specific mortality continue in old age, and if these inequalities evolved over the last decades (1992-96 vs. 2011-15). Read more about it on the post page.
