|
This paper considers mortality for ages 15-64 for the period 1981-97 in Britain according to population deciles defined by an area-based poverty measure. Over the study period there has been a polarization of life chances such that by 1994-97 almost one quarter of deaths in this age group can be attributed to unfavourable socioeconomic circumstances. Mortality differentials according to socioeconomic circumstances increased in tandem with increases in income inequality. A commitment to redistributive social policies is necessary if the trend of increasing inequality is to be reversed. |
