The purpose of this article is to analyze the differences in the causes of death in Mexico following sociodemographic characteristics from a gender perspective, based on the 2018 Vital Statistics. The results obtained for specific mortality rates and multiple-decrement life tables show that mortality behaves differently by gender, in other words, gender has an impact on differential mortality. Women’s life expectancy is affected by a greater number of causes of death than men’s. Life expectancy increases with educational attainment while the type of occupation makes its behavior differ between working men and working women.

Keywords : Gender perspective; Causes of death; Sociodemographic variables; Multiple-decrement life tables.
