After 1983, V(15) rose and fluctuated in the United States while declining rapidly and consistently in Canada. Between 1983 and 2007, Canada's V(15) advantage over the United States widened for both females and males. The largest Canada-US mortality differences occurred at young working ages, especially among males. Life expectancy trajectories almost completely missed the Canada-US divergence in young working-age mortality. From 1983 to 1994, below-threshold mortality decline reduced variance far more in Canada than in the United States.
