Resumo: Understanding mortality patterns and how they evolve in time has always been a challenging subject and many researchers have worked on it. We wish to enhance existing knowledge on the topic, by decomposing the effects on mortality of more than 400 combinations of “age class/Mortality Chapter”, in three countries with different characteristics and for a period of 44 years. Using classic decomposition methods, it is possible to observe a steady increase in Life Expectancy at birth and a decrease in the Gender Gap, identifying the main contributors to the phenomena in terms of “age class/Mortality Chapter”. Another finding is the existence of important similarities among countries.
