Highlighting the health inequalities faced by young people in the UK
A new blog written by Research Associate Dr Rakhee Shah and Research Lead Dr Ann Hagell has been published by the Health Foundation. The blog looks at the impact that policies on housing, education and employment have on the health inequalities faced by young people.
Supported by the Health Foundation, the Key Data on Young People series brings together all the robust and representative information we can find to get a full impression of young people in the United Kingdom. Every new edition of Key Data on Young People is revised to reflect current issues and concerns about young people’s health. In this 12th edition of the report we include sections on policy context, indicators of poverty and hardship, burden of disease and international comparisons in key health outcomes. #KeyData19
