Economic Downturns Cut Lives Short—But Only If You’re Poor & American.
A new study shows that recessions slash life expectancy for less-educated Americans—yet another sign of how brutal U.S. inequality is compared to Northern Europe, where strong social safety nets protect people from economic shocks.While Denmark, Norway, and Sweden use universal healthcare, robust unemployment benefits, and proactive welfare policies to shield their citizens, the U.S. leaves its most vulnerable to suffer. The result? A life expectancy gap that widens with every crisis.
