Invitation • 15.03.2023BiB Population Research Series
The BiB invites you to the lecture series on March 22, 2023 from 11:00 to 12:15. Dr. Emily Murray will present her paper „Health and place in the United Kingdom: How reducing geographic health inequalities can keep older workers working“.
Emily Murray is Senior Research Fellow at University College London Department of Epidemiology and Public Health. She considers herself a social epidemiologist, with a focus on examining effects of where people reside across their life course on their health and well-being. She is currently leading the Health Foundation funded project, "Health of Older People in Places".
Abstract
The UK Government’s ‘Levelling Up’ agenda comes after decades of health inequalities. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the long-term impacts of the UK’s ongoing cost of living crisis have both increased these inequities. The Health of Older People in Places (HOPE) project is a multidisciplinary research project funded by the Health Foundation showing the links between the health level of older adults (ages 50-74) in places and the employment of all adults (ages 16-74) in the same places.
The project used the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study samples from 2001 and 2011, a nationally representative 1% sample of the English and Welsh censuses, linked across time. Overall, the study found that the higher the proportion of older people with poor health in a place, the less likely it was that any adults in that place will be in paid work.
Location
The event will take place on the 3rd floor of the BiB in presence.
