What do mortality declines mean? Fewer parents losing children, fewer children losing siblings, getting older with more friends alive.
eg. 80 year olds in 1900 France had only 10% of their cohort still alive. 80 year olds in 2018 had 75%.

But by looking at them from different angles, and the people they affect, we can begin to understand.
