“Health gradients in South Africa: Inequalities in the measure of the beholder,” by Carlos Riumallo-Herl,David Canning, Ryan Wagner, Chodziwaddiza Kabudula, and Mark Collinson (PGDA Working Paper No. 139, May 2017, .pdf format, 30p.).
Abstract:
As the literature on health inequalities continues to grow very few studies have tested the sensibility of this measure to the choice of welfare indicator. In this paper we use data from an aging survey in South Africa to evaluate the health gradients using two measures of economic status: consumption per capita and an asset index. In particular, we measure the concentration indexes for a variety of health indicators ranging from general health service utilization to individual self-reported and biomarker outcomes. We find that the concentration indexes for different health indicators differ across economic indicators suggesting that the choice of welfare indicator can lead to different estimations of inequalities. In line with other studies, these results advocate for greater caution when selecting the economic indicator in the analysis of inequalities and for more explicit testing of different indicators in future studies. Overall, the results call for a greater understanding of how SES can influence health to generate appropriate measurements of health inequalities.

CAAR – Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper – November 3, 2014
“Pension Income Inequality: a Cohort Study in Six European Countries,” by Jorg Neugschwender (Working Paper No. 618, October 2014, .pdf format, 35p.).
Abstract:
This paper is an empirical overview of inequalities of pension outcomes in six European countries, which are shaped by a variety of institutional pensions schemes. The study contrasts pension system regulation in Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Sweden and the United Kingdom; and analyses their impact on current pension income. The main focus is analyzing the current trends of income distribution using a birth cohort perspective. In addition, a detailed analysis of these trends is included by income quintiles/deciles and pension income sources.
The study is a cohort design, where the data are pooled for 77251 individuals in six countries in 28 datasets covering multiple time periods from 1992 to 2010 using the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Database. The analyses show that pension incomes in these societies are diversified in terms of public vs. private pension income, purchasing power parities (PPP) adjusted income amounts, and the shape of the income distribution. The countries also differed strongly in relation to the general living standard in the respective societies.
