Some of the starkest examples of inequalities come from life expectancy statistics. We can see differences over time (eg Scotland’s declining rank in global comparisons) and between areas and populations (eg differences between areas across the UK). The differences are even more apparent looking at healthy life expectancy. Looking at individual conditions (eg mental health), differences in life expectancy are even apparent in Scandinavian countries. Inequality is a challenge across the world.
