This zip file contains the R codes for replicating the analysis, tables and figures of the paper. We also share the processed dataset and the computed estimates. The raw input data from ENDES survey can be downloaded from https://proyectos.inei.gob.pe/microdatos/index.htm and the Life tables from the 2022 revision of WPP can be retrieved from https://population.un.org/wpp/Download/Archive/Standard/.
