Aim of the Conference
In highly developed countries, the widening differences in
socioeconomic status which enhance inequalities in health
outcomes are a growing problem. The result is a loss of educational
and economic competences in large parts of the population
which reduces the economic prosperity of the whole country.
Therefore, tackling health inequalities and implementing health
equity strategies are the main objectives of public health policy
in welfare states around the globe.
The conference will focus on the comparative analysis of public
health strategies in different states. The leading questions are:
What do we know about the interaction of welfare regimes
and health outcomes? Do regime types influence the results
of health equity strategies? Do they have consequences for the
overall burden of disease? Which strategy is appropriate in
order to reduce health inequalities? How can the particularly
heavy burden of disease faced by families, children, adolescents,
the elderly, the migrant population, and other vulnerable parts
of the population in low economic and educational status be
reduced? What do we really know about successful strategies?
