Richard Gerald Wilkinson is a British researcher specializing in social inequalities and health.
As Professor Emeritus at the University of Nottingham and Honorary Professor at University College London, he has extensively studied how income inequality impacts societal well-being.
Wilkinson is best known for co-authoring The Spirit Level in 2009, which argues that more equal societies have better health and social outcomes.
This built on his earlier work in the 1996 book Unhealthy Societies.
His research focuses on demonstrating links between income distribution and various measures of population health and social issues across developed countries.
