Public health
5 Dec 2018
The socio-economic differences in health have increased more in the Nordic countries than in other parts of Western and Southern Europe. How can these health disparities be explained? How do the social gaps affect health and well-being? Are the growing gaps a threat to the Nordic welfare model? These were some of the topics at our conference Health Equity in the Nordic Region in Stockholm 22-23 November 2018.
