Abstract
It is well known that individual mortality risk within the United Kingdom, as with most other rich countries, varies with
geography as well as socioeconomic resources. However, the interaction between socioeconomic resources and geography among
the older retired population is under-researched. This study reports the results of an analysis which used routine administrative
data pooled by more than 100 public and private occupational pension schemes. The results show that regional effects on mortality
are dependent on socioeconomic disadvantage, and are therefore apparent for the most disadvantaged pensioners, but not for
the least disadvantaged.
