摘要
This paper represents a speculative approach to the question of changing mortality levels in human populations. The surprising resilience and reluctance of mortality declines to respond to powerful countervailing is considered. A more integrated approach is proposed to examine the interactive roles of income, technology and behavior in relation to life expectancy. The paper concludes by a discussion of the relevance of the accumulation of health assets to national mortality levels.
