Abstract

In the context of widening socioeconomic inequalities in mortality, it has become crucially important to understand the impact of population heterogeneity and its evolution on mortality. In particular, recent developments in multi-population mortality have raised a number of questions, among which is the issue of evaluating cause-of-death reduction targets set by national and international institutions in the presence of heterogeneity. The aim of this paper is to show how the population dynamics framework contributes to addressing these issues, relying on English population data and cause-specific number of deaths by socioeconomic circumstances, over the period 1981–2015.
