Social Inequality of Health

According to reports, the US spends more than $ 8000 a year on medical treatment. This number is 2.5 times that of other developed countries in the world (Kane, 2012). However, this does not statistically reflect citizen's morbidity and mortality. Many people may ask why and what we are missing. To answer these questions, people may simply see their own towns and communities. In 2013, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that health differences are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States.

The aim of this task is to show the relationship between social inequality, health and poverty. Through the mission, you will see how social inequality and health have a major impact and impact on poverty. Poverty is associated with many interacting populations. In my mission (including race, gender, class, sexual orientation, disability, age) we will look into these groups and their relevance to poverty in detail. We will explain how these insights apply to professional practices such as challenging social attitudes, collaborating with individuals, collaborating with teams, and providing services

The following discussion will focus on inequality in social health, resulting in unequal distribution of social resources. Health inequality refers to the difference in the incidence of health outcomes between population groups and socioeconomic groups and geographical areas (Graham, 2000). Therefore, the gender of the role of socially-organized women and men's identity exacerbates health inequality, thereby creating potential socio-economic inequalities that affect serious specific social groups There is.

Health inequality can be defined as "difference in health condition or distribution of health determinants among different groups" (WHO, glossary). Box 1 shows the definition of health inequality and inequality by the World Health Organization, and the term inequality of health is often regarded as unfair and unfair, in particular. However, in this tool kit, the term "health inequality" is used instead of "health is not fair", but in fact it is difficult to distinguish. In this toolkit, health differentials between different socioeconomic status groups are of primary concern. Socio-economic status is "social and economic factors that affect the position of individuals or groups in social structure" (Lynch & Kaplan, 2000).

To reduce health inequality, we need actions to reduce socioeconomic and other inequalities. There are other factors that affect health, but the overwhelming impact of social and economic factors - material, social, political and cultural conditions that affect our lives and behavior - It exceeds the factor. The World Commission on the social determinants of the health of the World Health Organization announced a number of evidences explaining this. Indeed, the relevance between social conditions and health is very close, and the seriousness of health inequality is an indicator of the impact. The impact of social and economic inequality on people's lives So then, health is an important reason for the rapid increase in wealth and income inequality in our society. We are using unhealthy words to express inevitable but inevitable health inequalities.
