Foreword by Lisa Berkman, Professor of Public Policy, Harvard
University 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, in the
workplace. Health inequalities and welfare resources will be
invaluable to researchers, students and practitioners in sociology,
social epidemiology, public health and social policy interested in
the interplay between society and health.
