The time of your life:
The mortality and longevity of Canadians 

This lecture describes longevity patterns of Canadians. I project the longevity of birth cohorts using tax administrative data. I find that between 1930 and 1964 years of birth, female life expectancy grew 4.4 years; men 6.1 years. The difference in longevity between the top and bottom of the income distribution is 9 years for women; 10 for men. The improvements over time have been symmetric across the income distribution. Large disparities across geography are evident, both rural-urban and within urban areas.
