Challenges for Public Health: Paternalism and Health Inequalities

This term’s research group ‘Normative Aspects of Public Health’ starts its work with this conference. The conference focuses on two main topics: public health in relation to the notions of liberty and justice. Epidemiological data show a stark correlation between for example life expectancy and socioeconomic status. It has become clear that individual lifestyles and social factors have strong impact on health. Yet the normative implications of these findings do still have to be scrutinized.
