2024 Inequality Landscape: Health and Socioeconomic Divides in Scotland

Report

This report picks up from the previous work commissioned by the Health Foundation as part of their independent review of health inequalities in Scotland. We now have more evidence of the impact of the pandemic and can see that people have endured steep rises in the cost of living that have affected living standards across Scotland. This report highlights a worsening situation in socioeconomic and health inequalities. The pandemic has played a role, but the roots of this decline stretch back long before this.
