The Impact of the 2009/2010 European Debt Crisis on Mortality Trends

This presentation will analyse the impact on mortality of the 2009/2010 European Debt Crisis by comparing the mortality, pre and post the crisis, of those countries most adversely affected by the crisis (Ireland, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain) with countries less directly affected by the crisis. Trends in all-cause and by cause of death mortality will be investigated.



This is the work of the mortality trends working group which is a sub group of the Demography Committee. The work was first presented at the 2015 IFoA Life Conference.
