Abstract

Abstract:Although life expectancy is a key metric for assessing a population’s health and well-being, there is a lack of both data and studies on this phenomenon over long periods of time in developing countries. Using original datasets for 1900–2010, this paper empirically measures the effect of certain determinants of life expectancy in Chile. The data considered includes sociodemographic information, measures of income distribution, and other indicators related to economic growth and the political system. The results show that, during the twentieth century, aspects related to certain sociodemographic variables, social inequality, and economic growth had a strong impact on the evolution of life expectancy in this country.

摘要:虽然预期寿命是评估人口健康和福祉的关键指标，但在发展中国家，长期以来缺乏关于这一现象的数据和研究。本文使用1900-2010年的原始数据集，实证地测量了智利预期寿命的某些决定因素的影响。考虑的数据包括社会人口统计信息、收入分配措施以及与经济增长和政治制度有关的其他指标。结果表明，在20世纪，与某些社会人口变量、社会不平等和经济增长相关的方面对这个国家预期寿命的演变产生了强烈影响。
