An Analysis of Health Differentials in the Italian Regions: What Relationship with the Average Disposable Income?
Journal Title: Journal of Empirical Economics - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The evidence of health inequalities within geographical areas in the same country or in the same geographical area, is one of the biggest defeats of today's society: higher rates of morbidity and mortality have been reported among lower socio-economic groups in many European countries. The aim of this work is to propose an indicator of health constructed for Italian Regions that highlights the existing differences between the regions surveyed, and to verify the existing relationship between such indicator and the disposable income of families.
