Inequalities in health between rich and poor areas of Britain widened in the 1980s and 1990s, and the current government has repeatedly expressed its intention to reduce these inequalities. In this article, however, the authors report that inequalities in life expectancy have continued to widen, alongside widening inequalities in income and wealth, and argue that more potent and redistributive policies are needed
20世纪80年代和90年代,英国贫富地区之间的健康不平等加剧,现任政府多次表示有意减少这些不平等。然而,在本文中,作者报告称,预期寿命的不平等随着收入和财富不平等的加剧而持续扩大,并认为需要更有力的再分配政策。
