"Poorer health generally reduces the possibility of better life outcomes and opportunities. It can restrict employment prospects, reduce earnings and bring additional living costs associated with long-term illness and disability that must somehow be met. In turn, this can lead to living in deprivation, low income and poverty." — JRF poverty report 2023.
