The strange geography of health inequalities
Place is undoubtedly relevant to health, and geography is a central character in the story of how rich societies handle inequalities in death and disease. But the text is incomplete, its scope limited by a too‐delicate encounter between research and policy, and by a strange subdisciplinary divide. Accounts of the geography in health inequalities are largely, albeit subtly, locked into ‘context’. They document the complex extent to which different…
Housing for Health: Can the Market Care
For over two decades British public policy has been fuelled by the notion that markets are the most effective way to accumulate and distribute resources. Such markets are driven by price, respond to ability to pay, and are not, for the most part, seen as having a welfare role. Using the example of housing, and drawing on lay experiences of ill health, the authors suggest that British households do, nevertheless, look to markets (in this example, …
Housing for Health: Does the Market Work
Markets are mechanisms for distributing goods and services according to people's ability to pay. They are also investment vehicles which can be used to secure financial gains as economies expand. Housing markets embrace both these features, and are popular in Britain as a way of maximising residential choice at the same time as protecting and enhancing personal wealth. All markets create winners and losers, but no systematic social differences in…
Housing as Health Capital: How Health Trajectories and Housing Paths Are Linked
This article explores the relationships between housing and health inequalities. It locates housing within a network of health resources that can either promote well‐being or increase susceptibility to disease. Housing thereby contributes to the accumulation, or depletion, of the health capital of individuals and communities. Qualitative interviews in three British regions help specify the links between health capital, on the one hand, and the ne…
Health and employment: Towards a New Deal
English This article draws on lay perspectives to question some assumptions underpinning the government’s New Deal for people with long-term illness or disability in Britain. Tracing out the interaction between health and employment trajectories, interviewees challenge the idea that over-generous benefits pave the route to non-employment. They also question the emphasis on matching skills to jobs as a pathway back to work. People experiencing ill…
Housing for Health: The Role of Owner Occupation
Housing is widely regarded as playing an important role in the mediation and management of health inequalities. British policy-makers are increasingly looking to the research community to specify what it is about housing environments that impact on health, and to identify what housing interventions constitute healthy public policies. To feed into this debate, this paper begins by reviewing the state of the art of research on housing and health. I…
