Health Equity North report reveals life expectancy, income, and mental health disparities between women in North and South England.

A report by Health Equity North highlights significant disparities faced by women in the North of England compared to those in the South. Women in the North have shorter life expectancies, earn less, and are more likely to experience mental health issues, domestic violence, and unpaid caregiving roles. The report calls for improved childcare, ending the two-child benefit cap, and better access to benefits to address these inequalities, which cost the economy £132 million weekly.
