Abstract
This paper describes the development of life expectancy at birth and at age 60 in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan and Switzerland from 1955 to 1995. With the help of the programme LIFETIME it analyses contributions of mortality differences by age groups and causes of death to the change in life expectancy at birth in the four decades for Austria and by age groups in all the countries chosen.
The most important finding is that Austrian men aged 60 to 79 years have the most promising prospects of improvements in mortality reduction.
