The psychological consequences of income inequality (2017, background): “…crime, and overall mortality rates and worse levels of child well‐being, and educational attainment found in higher‐inequality areas (even after controlling for access to health resources or other structural factors; Wilkinson & Pickett, 2009b; Kondo et al., 2008; Subramanian & Kawachi, 2004).”
Income inequality and health: a causal review. (2015, background): “Early reviews came to different interpretations of the evidence, though a majority of studies reported that health tended to be worse in more unequal societies (Lynch et al., 2004; Macinko et al., 2003; Subramanian and Kawachi, 2004; Wagstaff and van Doorslaer, 2000; Wilkinson and Pickett, 2006).”
Income inequality and population health: a review and explanation of the evidence. (2006, methodology): “Mayer and Sarin (2005) found that neonatal mortality rates are significantly more closely related to current inequality than to inequality 5 years earlier, whereas Subramanian and Kawachi (2004) found the strongest associations with adult health after a lag of 10 or 15 years.”
Does income inequality cause health and social problems (2011, methodology): “In another major review of published multi-level studies Subramanian and Kawachi confirmed that individual income was a powerful determinant of individual health. However, they also found some emerging patterns on the link between income inequality and health. They concluded that there was still a n”
Relative Income and Happiness in Asia: Evidence from Nationwide Surveys in China, Japan, and Korea (2011, background): “5 In Japan, Urakawa and Matsuura (2007) directly tested the relative income hypothesis using panel data on women in their 20s and 30s and found that the hypothesis held only for those with spouses. De la Garza, Sannabe, and Yamada (2008) pointed out that union workers report higher levels of subject”
The enemy between us: The psychological and social costs of inequality (2017, background): “…2008; De Vogli, Mistry, Gnesotto, & Cornia, 2005; Hales, Howden-Chapman, Salmond, Woodward, & Mackenbach, 1999; Kondo et al., 2009; Ram, 2006; Subramanian & Kawachi, 2004; Wilkinson & Pickett, 2006, 2007) Rates of mental illness and obesity are two to four times higher in more unequal…”
Income Inequality and Social Dysfunction (2009, methodology): “The United States is both the wealthiest and the most unequal among this group of rich countries, but the poor performance of the nation as a whole on most health and social outcomes is predicted by its inequality (Figure 1), not by its high average income.”
