Supplement of Scandinavian Journal of Public Health 2001:29(suppl 55 on
“Health inequalities in the Nordic countries from the 1980s to the 1990s”
I would like to draw your attention to the above supplement of SJPH which has
just come out from the printers. This supplement, prepared within a network of
Nordic scholars, contains an introduction and four harmonised country profile
studies from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden on changes over time of health
inequalities by employment status and educational attainment among men and
women (find below the list of contents). The magnitude and nature of health
inequalities in Scandinavia and the Nordic countries have been widely
discussed. The studied period is particularly interesting since Finland and
Sweden underwent a deep economic recession in the early 1990s whereas economic
changes in Denmark and Norway were much more modest. Find out from the
supplement what happened to health inequalities.
