Educational attainment and adult mortality differentials in Argentina

Abstract: In Latin America, there is an important set of studies that show a significant inverse relationship between socioeconomic status and mortality rates, but we know very little about the specific relation between educational attainment and adult mortality. The objective of this paper is to describe the relationship of adult mortality to educational attainment in Argentina for 2010. The data used in this study come from the Argentinean Mortality File of 2010 and from the last Argentinean Census. Results show a cle… Show more
