Housing tenure and household access to a car are useful indicators of socio-economic status. They are simple to collect and process in censuses and surveys, and are effective discriminators of mortality. They can be used for all members of the population including children, women and the retired. These are groups where socio-economic differences in mortality based on occupation can be difficult to interpret. Using Longitudinal Study data, this article presents an analysis of differences in male and female mortality in England and Wales in the 1980s according to household tenure and car access. The findings are compared with those observed in the 1970s. Mortality levels are lower in the 1980s for all groups. The analyses suggest that differences across tenure and car access groups have increased in relative and absolute terms, particularly for those under 65.
住房保有 tenure 和家庭是否拥有汽车是社会经济地位的有用指标。它们在人口普查和调查中易于收集和处理，并且是死亡率的有效区分因素。它们可用于包括儿童、妇女和退休人员在内的所有人口群体。在这些群体中，基于职业的死亡率社会经济差异可能难以解释。本文利用纵向研究数据，对20世纪80年代英格兰和威尔士按家庭保有 tenure 和汽车拥有情况划分的男性和女性死亡率差异进行了分析。研究结果与20世纪70年代观察到的结果进行了比较。20世纪80年代所有群体的死亡率水平都较低。分析表明，保有 tenure 和汽车拥有情况不同的群体之间的差异在相对和绝对方面都有所增加，特别是对于65岁以下的人群。
