Death expectancy

Francis Johnston

Development in Practice, 2007, vol. 17, issue 2, 256-257

Abstract: In this brief Viewpoint, the author argues that the common understanding of average life expectancy in any given country is an inappropriate measure in relation to development, since among AIDS-affected populations it fails to differentiate between significantly different life spans, depending on whether or not a person contracts the disease.
