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.
本文概述了一个用于实证比较总体健康不平等和社会经济健康不平等的框架。该框架是针对个体层面数据和分组数据开发的,并通过越南儿童营养不良数据和加拿大成年人健康效用数据进行了说明。在这两种情况下,社会经济不平等程度估计约占总体不平等的25%。
