Summary

Health inequity,1 which refers to unfair and unjust gaps in health across populations or population groups, is ethically disturbing (Eyal 2013, 1) and regarded as a major public health problem and a human rights violation. After the conception of health inequity was first put on the map of both public policy and academic study, the exploration of the relationship between ill health (such as mortality) and social class (a measure of social and economic position) has become a major challenge for public policies that aim to promote and sustain population health (Bartley 2016, 1; Whitehead, Dahlgren and Gilson 2001, 309). Among the attributed factors, socioeconomic inequality has a dominant effect on health inequity; it has been closely tied to decreased life expectancy and health and increased pathological and social problems across the population (Wilkinson 2001, 81; Johnson 2011, 103; Daniels 2012, 1063). Additionally, the creation of a health underclass of poor and marginalized people includes both disadvantaged populations within better-off countries along with the majority in worse-off countries (Gostin and Friedman 2013, 19).
