PhD project This research project primarily focuses on children's upbringing conditions and their impact on health and well-being later in life. We will use longitudinal data based on the Norrland Study conducted in 1929–1930.
Currently, there is an uneven distribution of resources across different regions, leading to unequal access to education, healthcare, and social services. Simultaneously, socioeconomic disparities are growing, resulting in higher health risks and premature mortality for individuals with low income and education. Despite decreasing overall inequality during the 20th century, significant geographical differences in health and mortality persisted. Socio-medical studies conducted in Norr- and Västerbotten during 1929/30 provide a unique possibility to study these issues.
