This report is a statistical reference source. It examines mortality inequalities by sex, geographic region, socioeconomic disadvantage, occupation, and country of birth among infants and children, young adults, working aged adults and older persons during the period 1998-2000, and between 1985-1987 and 1998- 2000. Mortality inequalities were examined on the basis of life expectancy, potential years of life lost, potentially avoidable deaths, age- standardised death rates, rate ratios, and a measure of excess mortality.
