Table 3.
Age-specific share, in percentage points, of the total male–female difference in life expectancy for eight high-mortality populations during extreme mortality conditions
| Population | Age 0–1 y, % | Age >1 y, % |
| Liberia, 1820–1843 | 77 | 23 |
| Trinidad, 1813–1816 | 88–77* | 12–23* |
| Ukraine, 1933 | 22 | 78 |
| Sweden, 1773 | 20 | 80 |
| Iceland, 1846 | 108† | −8† |
| Iceland, 1882 | 53 | 47 |
| Ireland, 1845–1849 | 67 | 33 |
*Values refer to lower and upper bound.
†The values of 108% and −8% are explained by the fact that the contribution of the 0–1 age group to the sex gap in life expectancy was 1.033 y in favor of women, while the overall difference was 0.96 y because other ages contributed with negative values (in favor of men).
