Health inequality: an intractable problem
Health inequality is an intractable problem, and has been increased by urbanisation. Average life expectancy has risen steadily for 160 years, but the increase is greater amongst the rich. Advances in engineering benefited all social classes, but changes in lifestyle seem to leave the poor behind. Health inequality – the existence of which was denied only 25 years ago – is now seen as a problem by all political parties in the UK. Various measures in healthcare and in lifestyle which might reduce the problem are considered.
