Table 1 Variation of the Absolute Rate difference, the Rate ratio, the Relative Index of Inequality (RII), the Slope index of inequality (SII) and the Population-attributable Fraction (PAF) in various sets of EL-specific rates and 2 educational distribution of the population. Decomposition of the RII, SII and PAF changes into a part due to change in mortality differentials and a part due to the EL-shift
