This is so cool. This atlas has Lexis plots on how various things have changed over time in different age groups – mortality rates, fertility rates, number of parents and siblings. And you can reach out to Jonas to add your own plots too. I'd like to see Lexis plots for absolutely everything.

So WWI/WWII show up quite sharply and I assume than part of the higher mortality for young men in the 60s was Vietnam, but then it gets worse in the 80s. Is there a specific cause, or is it just reflecting that male violence now shows up more readily after decades of health care advances?

That’s the older group. I meant the 18-35 demo. It takes a big jump around 1985-90.

Might be HIV/AIDS? I know that shows up in the infectious disease-specific category, and it might also show up on this sex ratio one
