José Manuel Aburto researches long-term consequences of inequality in the health and mortality of the global population, including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was announced on the 11 October that he is the recipient of the Silver Medal of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters for his work.
The Royal Academy appreciates and rewards José Manuel’s valuable contribution to the study of long-term global consequences of structural shocks, such as increased violence, and, most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic, and how these affect inequality in health and mortality. His research gives us crucial insights into the long-term global consequences of these phenomena.
