There is a growing recognition that the most powerful determinants
of health in modern populations are to be found in social, economic
and cultural circumstances. These include economic growth, income
distribution, consumption, work organization, unemployment and job
insecurity, social and family structure, education and deprivation,
and they are all aspects of "social organization". In this work,
these issues are examined by British and North American
researchers. They bring together an array of evidence from the
social sciences, epidemiology and biology. The text starts by
examining the strengths and weaknesses of these approaches to
improving the population's health. It then considers the timing of
major influences on health and questions whether there are special
periods of vulnerability early in life or whether circumstances
throughout life are equally important. The final section draws out
the implications for policy and for links between health and
economic performance, emphasising the need for greater investment
to combat the low educational standards and high and poor economic
performance.
