`` `` this paper explores the application of a life table approach to the analysis of poverty [ in the united states ] . after reviewing trends in gender differentials in poverty and mortality , we investigate an indicator of poverty-mortality well-being . the rationale for this approach is that to some extent poverty and mortality are causally interrelated phenomena which are both fundamental to well-being . the empirical results indicate that females are expected to live more years in poverty than are males , but females are expected to live more years in nonpoverty as well . although the gender differential in poverty rates has increased to the disadvantage of females , and although most of the greater poverty of females can not be attributed to their greater longevity , the gender differential in poverty-mortality well-being has nonetheless not deteriorated to the disadvantage of women in recent decades .
