Fig 1.
Life expectancy at birth and life inequality measures for all the life tables with greater than 45 years of life expectancy from Human Mortality Database (HMD), Human Life-table Database (HLD), the World Population Prospects (WPP) and World Health Organization (WHO) databases.
A: life expectancy at birth (e0) vs. life expectancy lost due to death (e†), B: e0 vs. Gini coefficient (G0), C: e0 vs. Keyfitz’s entropy (H), D: e0 vs. coefficient of variation.
Fig 2.
Life expectancy at age 15 and life inequality measures for adult populations (aged 15+) from Human Mortality Database (HMD), Human Life-table Database (HLD), the World Population Prospects (WPP) and World Health Organization (WHO) databases.
A: Life expectancy at age 15 (e15) vs. Gini coefficient above age 15 (G15), B: life expectancy at age 15 (e15) vs. coefficient of variation above age 15 (cv15).
Fig 3.
Relationships between lifespan inequality measures (on a log scale) for Human Mortality Database (HMD), Human Life-table Database (HLD), the World Population Prospects (WPP) and World Health Organization (WHO) databases.
The corresponding Pearson correlation coefficients are A: ρ = 0.976, B: ρ = 0.992, C: ρ = 0.990, D: ρ = 0.944.
Fig 4.
Female and male lifespan equality vs. life expectancy for selected countries.
Females are denoted by triangles, males by squares. More recent values are designated with stronger colors. A: England and Wales in 1841–2013, B: France in 1816–2013, C: Japan in 1947–2012, D: Sweden in 1751–2014.
