Can’t get No Satisfaction?: How do social and spatial factors in early childhood affect adult well-being?

In recent years, research on inequalities in health from birth has provided increasing evidence to support the lifecourse perspective on health inequalities. Studies from the field of health geography have also highlighted the role of birthplace in adult health outcomes. In this paper, these two threads are combined by taking an ecological approach to how both social and spatial factors in the first few years of life affect adult well-being. The outcome indicator in this case is satisfaction with life at the age of 30.
