Health 2020: education and health through the life-course: sector brief on education
Other Titles
Abstract
The Health 2020 policy framework has been adopted by all Member States of the WHO European Region in order to address Europe’s great social and health challenges, calling upon the health sector to reach out to, and work with, all the various sectors and parties in the continuous work of improving people’s health and well-being. Investing in education also means investing in health throughout the life-course. Education is crucial to opportunities for participation in society, keeping people in the labour market and supporting their return if they lose employment, improving health literacy and strengthening community resilience. By working together, health and education can contribute significantly to individuals, communities and societies, reduce inequalities and support human development, not only improving good health and well-being but also enhancing learning and personal growth as well as fostering healthy and resilient communities and economies.
