Japan, Canada, and the United States had different postwar variance trajectories despite relatively steady life expectancy gains. After the Second World War, average V(15) fluctuated more among males than females across 40 regions. The paper links international divergence in lifespan inequality to divergence in the age pattern of mortality determinants. The study used 40 regional Human Mortality Database series for postwar international comparisons.
