Mortality Convergence and Divergence among Selected European Countries, 1959-2009
Original language description
There was observed unprecedented decline of mortality during the 20th century in the World. This development motivated many researches all over the World to study convergence and divergence tendencies of mortality, because studies focused on these tendencies provide an unique information precisely about development of mortality in time as well as in space. The main goal of the paper is to evaluate convergence and divergence tendencies of mortality in selected European countries since the second half ofthe 20th century using both, traditional and recent measures. Data from the Human Mortality Database was used for the analysis, the studied time period covered years 1959-2009 and life expectancy at birth was selected as studied indicator. Convergence and divergence tendencies of life expectancy at birth are described by two types of measurement. First, common statistics were calculated and possibilities of visualization of convergence and divergence of mortality in boxplots are performe
