contents Income security in times of ill health: the next frontier for the SDGs Knut Lönnroth Lou Tessier Gunnel Hensing Christina Behrendt Poor health can trap individuals, families and communities in a vicious disease-poverty cycle. While ensuring universal access to affordable healthcare in times of need is essential to break this cycle, income security in time of sickness or injury for all is equally important. Recent evidence indicates that people who cannot work or are not allowed to work due to illness face high indirect costs linked to income loss, which can be compounded by the opportunity cost of time spent seeking and staying in care. 10.1136/bmjgh-2020-002493 DOI https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjgh-2020-002493 publication.journalArticle
