What is it about?

This study provides evidence that the unprecedented rise in infant mortality disproportionately affected the poorest areas of England, leaving the more affluent areas unaffected. Our analysis also linked the recent increase in infant mortality in England with rising child poverty, suggesting that about a third of the increase in infant mortality from 2014-17 may be attributed to rising child poverty.
