'A child’s postcode can be a predictor of their future'

According to a study by the Equality Trust, a child’s postcode can be a predictor of their future. The study found that children living in disadvantaged areas are more likely to experience poverty, poor health, and lower educational attainment.

“We know that where you live is a major factor in determining how long you will live. But it's not just about physical environment – it's also about the social and economic environment that affects your health and wellbeing.”

The study also found that children living in affluent areas are more likely to experience better health, higher educational attainment, and greater social mobility.

Children living in affluent areas are more likely to experience better health.
Children living in disadvantaged areas are more likely to experience lower educational attainment.

Resuming, the postcode of a child can be a significant predictor of their future, with those living in disadvantaged areas facing greater challenges and those living in affluent areas experiencing greater opportunities.
