As an epidemiologist and a Fellow of the UK Faculty of Public Health, Kate Pickett’s work focuses on the social determinants of health. Throughout her career, Kate has been studying the impact of variables such as inequality, social class and neighbourhood contexts on people’s health and development. Her findings led her to become an activist for equality and co-founder of the Equality Trust. In this podcast talk with Nathalie Jean-Baptiste, Kate unveils the deep connection between inequality and poor health and how it affects the wealthy just as much as the underprivileged.
