| Description: |
Following up on the 1997 Joseph Rowntree Foundation report "Death in Britain", this study provides further evidence of the widening geographical gap in mortality in Britain. But it also shows how social and economic policies might narrow this gap. |
| Synopsis: |
"Death in Britain" reported changes in death inequalities from the 1950s to the 1990s and claimed that Britain was failing to reach Target One of the World Health Organization - to reduce inequalities in health by 2000. This work argues that Britain has failed and contains evidence of the still-widening geograhical gap in mortality in Britain. The report looks at the role played by age, gender, social class and unemployment in producing geographical differences and recommends that the focus of policy needs to shift from "health" alone to a much wider range of influences. The report explains the extent and changes in social injus tice throughout the 1908s and 1990s and highlights dramatic findings, clearly portrayed with extensive use of full-colour maps and graphs. The book also presents the results of modelling exercises which show what the effect on mortality would be - in terms of actual number of lives saved - if full employment were achieved, child poverty were eradicated and material inequalities were reduced. |
