The analysis was worked out on the basis of Health Variables of The European Statistics of Income and Living Condition (EU-SILC), European Health Interview Survey (EHIS). The SRH-self-rated health variable in relation to education and income was used in ther analysis. There were two research hypotheses put forward and verified during the study. H1: Education is a stronger determinant than income affecting health inequalities of the populations of the, so called, new UE countries. H2: The state of health inequality, investigated during the period 2006–2015, is increasing in the, so called, new UE countries.

Analizę opracowano na podstawie Health variables of The European Statistics of Income and Living Condition (EU-SILC), European Health Interview Survey (EHIS). Do analizy wykorzystano zmienną SRH-self-rated health w zależności od wykształcenia i dochodu. W toku pracy postawiono dwie hipotezy badawcze, które poddano weryfikacji w badaniach. H1: Wykształcenie jest silniejszą od dochodu determinantą wpływającą na nierówności zdrowotne populacji w tzw. krajach nowej UE. H2: Stan nierówności zdrowotnej badany w okresie 2006–2015 roku zwiększa się w tzw. krajach nowej UE.
