It might lead to more people dying prematurely (before they reach 75) – an increase of about 6.5 percent. The study predicts that the poorest households will be hit the hardest. They could see four times as many extra deaths compared to the richest households.

Research from Cambridge Judge Business School suggests this might not always be the case, however, and that when internal candidates have sufficiently diverse management experience they’re more likely to pursue growth opportunities.
