World Analysis of the Determinants of the Inequality in Health. Is the Measurement of Inequality Important?

This essay has a double aim. On the one hand, to identify what are the de- terminants in the inequality in health.

description This essay has a double aim. On the one hand, to identify what are the de- terminants in the inequality in health. On the other hand, to estimate to what extent the inequality indicator used is important. To do this, we use a cross-sec- tional model for 176 countries. The achieved results allow concluding that the choice of the inequality measurement is a key element in this type of studies. Also, inequality in income distribution, the weight of the rural population and capitalism make inequality in health increase.
