47. Globally, mortality rates have decreased across all age groups over the
past five decades, with the largest improvements occurring among
children younger than 5 years. However, at the national level,
considerable heterogeneity remains in terms of both level and rate of
changes in age-specific mortality; increases in mortality for certain age
groups occurred in some locations.
Countries have saved more lives over the past decade, especially among
children under age 5, but persistent health problems, such as obesity,
conflict, and mental illness, comprise a “triad of troubles,” and prevent
people from living long, healthy lives.
Total deaths in children younger than 5 years decreased from 1970 to
2016, and slower decreases occurred at ages 5–24 years. By contrast,
numbers of adult deaths increased in each 5-year age bracket above the
age of 25 years.

The richest billionaires could
give $139,300,000,000 away
and still be as rich as they
were in 2020. These
billionaires could end global
hunger for about $300 billion.
A fraction of their overall
wealth.
115. ‘Build back’ ?
To what austerity, poverty and
unfairness? Environmental squalor and
health and wealth for some?
Plan for an outbreak of health….
116. William Beveridge designed a welfare state
for the UK in the deepest point of the
Second World War.
‘We should regard want,
idleness , ignorance, squalor
and disease as enemies of us
all. That is the meaning of a
social conscience; that we
refuse to make our separate
peace with evil.’
