This spreadsheet is an attempt to see if it is the case that the length of time that people get to live is becoming more or less equal. What it shows is that there is very little change in this form of inequality over time. There was a slight decrease in the 1990's followed by an even more slight increase over the next 8 years. I used data from the WHO life tables for the world as a whole. I'm not quite sure how my measure of inequality compares to a Gini coefficient. Feel free to make alterations and corrections to my work.
