Longevity Trends

October 2019

The first research report of MIB Trieste's DemoLab focused on Longevity Trends at a national level.
"There was a noticeable change in trend, although less significant than in other Western countries," explained Pitacco. "The expected increase in life has in fact suffered a significant slowdown since 2015-2016 and the expectations of longer life today have stopped".

This Paper Longevity Trends consists of two parts:

• The Italian scenario (with a look to foreign experiences)
• Changing trends in mortality: an international comparison using the Human Mortality Database.

The first part aims at providing an insight into historical and recent longevity trends, with special focus on the Italian scenario. In the second part, recent trends in mortality in 19 countries are compared, for which relatively up-to-date data from the Human Mortality Database (HMD) are available.
