Reconsidering Wilkinson’s Income Inequality
Hypothesis: New Evidence from Argentina.
Wilkinson’s income inequality hypothesis asserts that our health is
influenced not just by our own income (following ideas of the social
gradient in health), but also be how income is distributed in the place
in which we live. The hypothesis forms an integral part of the social
determinants of health literature. However, a consensus on its
validity has not been reached, and much remains contested on
methodological and theoretical grounds. This presentation outlines
new analyses of the income inequality hypothesis in Argentina.
