Unequal Lives: Health and Socioeconomic Inequalities

"Unequal Lives" focuses on the connections between people's unequal health and people's unequal lives, and between health and socioeconomic inequalities. It investigates these connections to shed light on how, even in rich societies enjoying unparalleled levels of wealth and health, people's life chances and health remain so unequal. The book integrates research on health and social inequalities and provides a guide to concepts, evidence and policy.
