Resumen
Descripción
This book shows how to implement a
variety of analytic tools that allow health equity - along
different dimensions and in different spheres - to be
quantified. Questions that the techniques can help provide
answers for include the following: Have gaps in health
outcomes between the poor and the better-off grown in
specific countries or in the developing world as a whole?
Are they larger in one country than in another? Are health
sector subsidies more equally distributed in some countries
than in others? Is health care utilization equitably
distributed in the sense that people in equal need receive
similar amounts of health care irrespective of their income?
Are health care payments more progressive in one health care
financing system than in another? What are catastrophic
payments? How can they be measured? How far do health care
payments impoverish households? This volume has a simple
aim: to provide researchers and analysts with a step-by-step
practical guide to the measurement of a variety of aspects
of health equity. Each chapter includes worked examples and
computer code. The authors hope that these guides, and the
easy-to-implement computer routines contained in them, will
stimulate yet more analysis in the field of health equity,
especially in developing countries. They hope this, in turn,
will lead to more comprehensive monitoring of trends in
health equity, a better understanding of the causes of these
inequities, more extensive evaluation of the impacts of
development programs on health equity, and more effective
policies and programs to reduce inequities in the health sector.
