Document Summary

Key ideas: black report, social exclusion, social inequality, absolute poverty, relative poverty, depth of poverty, lico. Income inequalities are associated with population health outcomes. The poorest people have the worst health. Mortality and morbidity are not explained by lifestyle alone. Poverty is one of the strongest determinants of health status. We can study the poverty health link through: correlation studies, longitudinal studies, qualitative studies. Absolute poverty: deprived of basic human needs. Relative poverty: material and social deprivation that leads to inability to participate in activities that are customary, we must have enough money to ensure a safe environment, meaningful social activities, access to transportation. Much more aligned with the thinking involving social exclusion.
