Child mortality has declined rapidly over the last century in many high-income countries. However, little is known about the socio-economic differences in this decline and whether these vary across causes of death. We used register data that included all Norwegian births between 1968 and 2010 (2.1 million), and we analysed how all-cause and cause-s...

Immigrants have become the main contributor to population growth in Europe and have higher poverty risks than natives. This contribution quantifies to what ext...
