Overall versus socioeconomic health inequality: a measurement framework and two empirical illustrations
提出了一个比较总体健康不平等与社会经济健康不平等的框架,适用于个体和分组数据,并用越南儿童营养不良和加拿大成人健康效用数据验证,发现社会经济不平等约占总体不平等的25%。
This paper outlines a framework for comparing empirically overall health inequality and socioeconomic health inequality. The framework, which is developed for both individual-level data and grouped data, is illustrated using data on malnutrition amongst Vietnamese children and on health utility amongst Canadian adults. In both cases, the degree of socioeconomic inequality is estimated at around 25% of overall inequality.
