Subject: Inequalities in Life expectancy by social class 1972-99


Further to the table we published earlier in the year, this article
includes analyses and discussion of the trends, with additional figures
presented to illustrate inequality across the whole social class gradient.
Inequalities across the whole social class gradient have increased to 1999,
however the differential between men in social class I and V decreased for
the first time in 97-99.

In addition we explore the effect of assigning social class at different
time periods.
