Study Reveals Health Inequalities for Women in North England
A new report by Health Equity North reveals alarming inequalities faced by women in the North of England compared to their counterparts in the South. Women in regions such as the North West, North East, and Yorkshire and the Humber have shorter life expectancies, typically living in good health until ages 59.7 to 62.4, which is up to six years less than those born in the South East. They also work more hours for lower pay, have fewer qualifications, and are more likely to experience mental health issues, domestic violence, and act as unpaid caregivers. The report has garnered support from northern elected mayors and calls for central government intervention to address the growing disparities. Hannah Davies, executive director at Health Equity North, emphasized the need for urgent action to reverse a decade of decline in women's health and wellbeing in the region. This report serves as a wake-up call regarding the socio-economic challenges that persist in modern Britain.
