The presentation which has been organised by the Economic Research Institute of Northern Ireland will be given by Professor Paul Boyle an eminent researcher with considerable expertise on demographic issues. Paul is currently professor of human geography at the University of St Andrews. He provides advice to a number of UK government committees in demographic and health issues.
Paul's presentation will examine the relationship between health and mortality by socio-economic status in Britain. Those who live in more deprived circumstances are most likely to suffer limiting long-term illnesses and shorter life expectancies than those who live in less deprived circumstances. And, importantly, the health gap between these extremes appears to be widening. Why this is the case is barely understood, but one factor which has attracted relatively little attention is the role of health-selective mobility.
