http://schema.org/description

  • "This paper examines research on income inequality and mortality. The focus of the paper then turns to a discussion of efforts to explain some of the differences between the countries, particularly those differences that are relevant to policy. Two of the countries, Canada and the United States, have been the subject of an ongoing "natural experiment, and the current state of the results of this work are presented, particularly those comparing the nature of the urban social ecologies of the two countries. The paper then discusses the theoretical debate that underlies much of the research on income distributions and health status, and in particular, suggests that a useful step forward may be research that considers the mechanisms that may be involved in producing inequality (particularly that related to early-life educational gaps) in various social contexts. The paper concludes with a summary and an articulation of the policy implications of the body of research that has been done to date in this area."
