Discussion: The Health Gap: The Challenge of an Unequal World

Author: Michael Marmot

Description: Michael Marmot's "The Health Gap" examines how social and economic inequalities contribute to disparities in health outcomes. Marmot argues that the wealth gap, access to education, and living conditions play a critical role in shaping individual and population health. Using global data, he outlines how those in lower socioeconomic positions often face worse health outcomes, while those in wealthier positions enjoy longer, healthier lives. The book explores policies to reduce health inequalities and calls for a more equitable society to improve public health, emphasizing social justice as the key to closing the health gap.
