The Special Collection ‘Socio-Economic Inequalities in Mortality in the Long-Run’ in Demographic Research aims to bring together research investigating long-run changes in socio-economic inequalities in mortality, with a particular focus on cause-specific mortality.
Papers may examine a wide range of geographic areas, study historical and/or contemporary populations, and use diverse methodological approaches. We also encourage studies using various data sources, including (but not limited to) linked administrative records, survey data, and/or qualitative materials.
Ultimately, we hope that the collected papers will shed light on the mechanisms underpinning changes in socio-economic gradients, and the extent to which socio-economic gradients differ across contexts and diseases.
