Health inequalities in Europe. New insights from comparative studies
Socioeconomic inequalities in mortality are present in all European countries, but their magnitude and development over time is highly variable. In a series of on-going comparative studies we exploit these variations to identify the macro- and micro-level determinants of these mortality inequalities. In my presentation I will summarize the results of these studies, and relate our findings to current insights into the explanation of health inequalities in modern welfare states.
Lecture Series Fall 2017 "Mind the Gap: Lessons from Health Inequality"
The lecture series of the Department Health Sciences and Health Policy in fall 2017 will present and discuss the latest research findings on health inequalities, and show possibilities how these findings have been translated into and implemented as policy actions.
