effect of the interaction between age structure and the level of mortality. Figures 2 (effect of age structure) and 3 (effect of mortality level) present the results of the decomposition for the 2006-2010 period for males. We use them to answer the following question: which contribution is greater, that from changes in the level of mortality or that from changes in the age distribution of the population? If the contribution of the mortality level is higher than that estimated for the changes in the age
