摘要

Life expectancy in England and Wales has stalled. At some older ages, it is declining. One of the most widely used measures of the health of the population, life expectancy is calculated from age-specific death rates. Life expectancy at birth in high-income coun- tries has been improving steadily, albeit with some small fluctuations, for decades. If the data are accur- ate, in the absence of other causative factors — ende- mic disease, environmental event such as war or natural disaster, or mass migration — stagnation of life expectancy, or worse still, decline, suggests sub- stantial societal problems. This possibility is not, however, supported by the Government, which rejects any suggestion that its policies, in particular austerity and its effects, might have played any causal role in the observed trends.
