Kate Pickett

Distinguished Lecture Series
 
Comparing numerous measures of population health and wellbeing, it is clear that societies which tend to do well on one measure tend to do well on all of them, and the ones which do badly, do badly on all.

The key is the amount of inequality in each society; the more unequal a society is, the more ill health and social problems it has.
Inequality has always been regarded as divisive and socially corrosive. Material inequality serves as a determinant of the scale and importance of social stratification. It increases status insecurity and competition and the prevalence of all the problems associated with relative deprivation. And although inequality has its greatest effect on rates of problems among the poor, its influence extends to almost all income groups: too much inequality reduces levels of well-being among the vast majority of the population.

Learning Objectives
  • Understand how socioeconomic inequality is related to the distribution of health
  • Understand the pathways linking inequality to health and wellbeing
