Looks at how life expectancy for women in Denmark has been declining since 1980. Analyses the different mortality trends in Norway and Sweden and identifies national differentials in external determinants of morbidity and premature mortality. Discusses the external factors and argues that the daily life of women has deteriorated because the welfare system has not facilitated the combination of child-bearing and paid work.
