Poor children are more likely to die from injury
Deaths rates from injury and poisoning in children have fallen in England and Wales in most socioeconomic groups over the last 20 years, but not for children in families without a working adult. Edwards and colleagues (p 119) analysed anonymised records from the last three censuses (1981, 1991, 2001). Overall, death rates for the poorest group were 13 times higher than for the wealthiest, with inequalities greatest for deaths in house fires and as pedestrians.
