On #WorldHealthDay, we highlight evidence that economic decisions have profound health impacts.

Austerity policies in the UK are associated with 190,000 excess deaths and widening regional inequalities in life expectancy.

Immigrants are more likely to adapt to Swedish childbearing norms if they move to Sweden at a young age, according to a new study by Ben Wilson, researcher in demography. This seems to be the case regardless of their gender or country of birth.
