## Resource

Life expectancy in England is hitting record highs—but not everyone’s benefiting equally. While men live to about 80 and women to nearly 84 on average, the north lags far behind the south, with Londoners living three years longer than those in the north-east. Deep-rooted inequalities tied to poverty, poor housing, lack of jobs, and limited access to healthy food are driving this widening gap. Despite government pledges to “level up,” experts warn that without a stronger focus on public health and prevention, closing this divide remains a daunting challenge.
