Impact of causes of death on life expectancy at higher ages from 1951 to 1996
Articles and reports: 91-209-X20000005746Description: Since the 1950s, life expectancy at age 60 has grown considerably. A woman reaching age 60 in 1951 could expect to live an additional 19 years on average, whereas in 1996, a woman of that age could expect to live an average of 24 years. For men, however, the increase has been less pronounced; their life expectancy increased by just over three years during the same period.Issue Number: 2000000Author(s): Gilbert, Stéphane; Bélanger, AlainMain Product:Report on the Demographic Situation in Canada
