Abstracts

The paper focuses on socio-economic inequalities in health. It presents theoretical and methodological conceptualization of socio-economic determinants’ effect on health and tests effects of specific indicators of socio-economic status. It employs the indicators that are not often used in the health analysis – EGP class scheme and Top-Bottom self-placement scale. A strategy of empirical analysis is based on building of binary logistic models. They confirm the role of the EGP class scheme and the subjective identification of social position as important predictors of self-rated health and health measured in terms of presence of chronic illness.
