Health inequalities and welfare resources: Continuity and change in Sweden
Health inequalities and welfare resources: Continuity and change in Sweden

Abstract
How welfare states influence population health and health inequalities has long been debated but less well tested by empirical research. This book presents new empirical evidence of the effects of Swedish welfare state structures and policies on the lives of Swedish citizens. The discussion, analysis, and innovative theoretical approaches developed in the book have implications for health research and policy beyond Scandinavian borders. Drawing on a rich source of longitudinal data, the Swedish Level of Living Surveys (LNU), and other data, the authors shed light on a number of pertinent issues in health inequality research while at the same time showing how health inequalities have evolved in Sweden over several decades. Topics covered include: how structural conditions relating to family, socio-economic conditions, and the welfare state are important in producing health inequalities; how health inequalities change over the lifecourse; and the impact of environment on health inequalities — at home, at school, and in the workplace.
