| 内容提要 | 本文指出了基尼系数等传统不平等指数方法在研究健康不平等方面的局限性，进而引入最新发展起来的基于序数数据的健康不平等研究方法，采用中国健康营养调查(CHNS)数据分析了1997～2009年居民健康福利与健康不平等的变化。结果表明：中国居民健康水平下降了，同时居民健康不平等程度扩大了，健康不平等扩大可归因于人口老龄化、收入不平等的扩大和相对贫困的增加，而教育水平的增进和医疗保险覆盖率的提高有助于降低健康不平等。 |
| Abstract | Facing limitations of more conventional methods such as Gini coefficients when applied to studies of health inequalities, this paper proposes a new empirical approach in which ordinal data are used to study health welfare and health equalities in China. These ordinal data are contained in the China Health and Nutrition Survey and are used to demonstrate variations in health welfare and health inequalities experienced by Chinese Citizens from 1997 to 2009. A critical finding of this paper is that the overall health in China has been deteriorated and the health inequalities have been enlarged. The likely reasons are that the number of elderlies has increased disproportionately faster than the rest of the population in this aging society, and the income inequalities and relative poverty in China have been exacerbated. However, the hope for improvement in the future lies in increase and betterment of China’s fledgling health insurance market and greater achievement of China’s education system. |
