Abstract
This article provides evidence about changes in mortality inequalities by education and economic activity status among adults aged 30-64 and older adults aged 65 and over in Lithuania between 2001-05 and 2011-15. The study shows that the overall mortality decline in Lithuania was not homogeneous across socio-economic groups. The inequitable progress resulted in a widening in absolute and relative mortality inequalities among older adults and notable increases in relative mortality inequalities among adults aged 30-64. The total public health burden of mortality inequalities remained very pronounced or even increased further.
