DIGITAL ATLAS OF HEALTH INEQUALITY IN BELGIUM

Mapping two centuries of mortality inequality to inform a fairer future

Our Mission

The Digital Atlas of the INEQKILL Project illuminates two centuries of social and spatial inequalities in mortality across Belgium, from 1800 to 2025.

By integrating historical and contemporary data, advanced geographic information systems, and interdisciplinary research, the atlas reveals how disparities in death have evolved in response to changing living standards, public health interventions, and medical progress.

Our mission is to generate new knowledge and insights into the origins and development of all-cause and cause-specific mortality inequalities, making this information accessible to researchers, policymakers, and the broader public.

Through this open-access platform, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of how social, economic, and geographic factors have shaped life and death in Belgium, and to contribute to ongoing discussions about health equity, both nationally and beyond.
