Work, worklessness and the political economy of health inequalities (2011)
Journal Article

This essay argues that work, and the socioeconomic class polarities it creates, plays a fundamental role in determining inequalities in the distribution of morbidity and mortality. This is by means of uneven exposure to physical hazards and psychosoc... Read More about Work, worklessness and the political economy of health inequalities.

Health inequalities and welfare state regimes: theoretical insights on a public health ‘puzzle’ (2011)

Welfare states are important determinants of health. Comparative social epidemiology has almost invariably concluded that population health is enhanced by the relatively generous and universal welfare provision of the Scandinavian countries. However,... Read More about Health inequalities and welfare state regimes: theoretical insights on a public health ‘puzzle’.
