Using comparative data for the western European and Anglo-American democracies, this presentation explores the origins of the gradient linking health to socioeconomic status. Why are some people healthier than others? Explanations based on collective lifestyles approaches are compared to a capabilities approach to the problem of explaining inequalities in health and statistical analysis is used to compare the impact of factors associated with the structure of economic relations to those rooted in the structure of social relations. The presentation concludes by asking: what are the implications for public policy-making?
