The objective of this study was to compare social inequalities in mortality by main causes of death in Spain and France during the 1988-90 period. In both Spain and France mortality in the manual workers category was always higher than that of the rest of the occupational groups for all causes. Farmers presented an intermediate level of mortality between professionals and managers and manual workers. The mortality of manual workers was 1.89 times higher than that of professionals and managers in Spain, and 1.67 higher in France. In Spain the greatest difference between the mortality of manual workers and professionals and managers was observed in accidents and respiratory diseases; in France, the greatest differences were observed in digestive diseases and respiratory diseases.
