This paper aims to analyse the relationship between perceived health and earnings across Europe. Empirical analysis is based on the last published round from the European Working Conditions Survey (N = 43,850) and offers updated evidence on the effect of earnings on perceived health in 35 countries. The main findings show a positive and significant relationship between earnings and health, which is consistent with the existing literature. Moreover, health seems to be U-shaped relative to earnings. On the other hand, age is negatively related to health, which is consistent with previous research. This paper shows the health differences between countries, where cultural, geographic, and economic differences imply health inequalities across countries. From a practical perspective, understanding the dynamics of perceived health and earnings' processes can contribute to health policy.
本文旨在分析欧洲各地感知健康与收入之间的关系。实证分析基于欧洲工作条件调查(European Working Conditions Survey)最近公布的一轮调查数据（N=43850），为 35 个国家的收入对感知健康的影响提供了最新证据。主要发现表明，收入与健康之间存在正相关且显著的关系，这与现有文献一致。此外，健康状况与收入之间似乎呈 U 型关系。另一方面，年龄与健康呈负相关，这与先前的研究一致。本文展示了各国之间的健康差异，文化、地理和经济差异意味着各国之间存在健康不平等。从实际的角度来看，了解感知健康和收入过程的动态可以为健康政策做出贡献。
