Summary:

This study will focus on mortality changes in the ESCAP region over the last two decades, predominantly from 1980-1985 to 2000-2005, but will also compare this experience with that of the three preceding decades, 1950-1955 to 1980-1985, in order to achieve perspective. That perspective will be often confined to the 99 per cent of the ESCAP region's population that live in Asia, though we will frequently employ figures for the whole of Asia. In contrast to a previous report on the ESCAP area, we will focus on anomalies in mortality change that offer the possibility of improving the mortality experience.
