Life in a violent country can be years shorter and much less predictable, even for those not involved in conflict
How long people live is less predictable and life expectancy for young people can be as much as 14 years shorter in violent countries compared to peaceful countries, according to a new study today from an international team, led by Oxford’s Leverhulme Center for Demographic Science. It reveals a direct link between the uncertainty of living in a violent setting, even for those not directly involved in the violence, and a “double burden” of shorter and less predictable lives.
