Decomposing the Cerberus: A Multilevel Analysis of How Commodification, Financialization, and Rentierism Shape Housing Precariousness in Spain
The “housing question” has reemerged across Europe and the United States, as neoliberal reforms have expanded the influence of what we refer to as a three-headed “Cerberus” of housing trends: commodification, financialization, and rentierism. Using Spain as a case study, this article examines the associations between these macrostructural dynamics and household-level precariousness across tenure types. Using data from the European Union Survey on…

How do superblock interventions influence health? A scoping review
Cities are implementing interventions to radically transform public space and urban transportation networks. While these interventions are urgently needed, many questions remain regarding their impacts on health, and how they can be effectively replicated. In the case of Superblock interventions, it is assumed they have the potential to significantly improve urban environments and health. This study aims to identify the empirical evidence on Supe…
Why and how Barcelona has become a health inequalities research hub? A realist explanatory case study
Despite the increase in global research on health inequalities, more needs to be done to strengthen efforts to inform local interventions. In this article, we ask what determines the local capacity to engage in research on health inequalities. A bibliometric analysis identified Spain as the 10th highest global contributor to this research field (1966–2015), yet a significant proportion of this production was affiliated to just a few institutions …

Impact of Covid-19 inequalities on children: An intersectional analysis
Societal concerns about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have largely focussed on the social groups most directly affected, such as the elderly and health workers. However, less focus has been placed on understanding the effects on other collectives, such as children. While children's physical health appears to be less affected than the adult population, their mental health, learning and wellbeing is likely to have been significantly negative…
Precarious Employment and Chronic Stress: Do Social Support Networks Matter
Precarious employment has been identified as a potentially damaging stressor. Conversely, social support networks have a well-known protective effect on health and well-being. The ways in which precariousness and social support may interact have scarcely been studied with respect to either perceived stress or objective stress biomarkers. This research aims to fill this gap by means of a cross-sectional study based on a non-probability quota sampl…
What do we know about the impact of economic recessions on mortality inequalities? A critical review
Historically, there has been a debate on the effects of recessions on population health, and especially on mortality and its distribution across different social groups. This paper contributes to this discussion by means of a critical review of the research on the impact of economic recessions on mortality inequalities in the period 1980-2020. We analyzed 19 studies according to their mortality outcomes, socioeconomic indicators, design, analysis…

Are Women’s Empowerment and Income Inequality Associated with Excess Weight in Latin American Cities
While income gradients and gender inequalities in excess weight have been noted elsewhere, data from Latin American cities is lacking. We analyzed gender-specific associations between city-level women's empowerment and income inequality with individual-level overweight/obesity, assessing how these associations vary by individual education or living conditions within cities in Latin America. Data came from national surveys and censuses, and was co…
The case for planetary health prevention
The lack of preparedness and the adoption of a reactive approach underlie many mistakes in handling the COVID-19 pandemic. We need a vision with a proactive approach to planetary health prevention, that is suited for addressing the neglected systemic determinants of health which generate disease, inequality and environmental degradation, and capable of anticipating known and unknown risks, and foreseeing possible threatening scenarios. To achieve…
Precarious Employment and Stress: The Biomedical Embodiment of Social Factors. PRESSED Project Study Protocol
The PRESSED project aims to explain the links between a multidimensional measure of precarious employment and stress and health. Studies on social epidemiology have found a clear positive association between precarious employment and health, but the pathways and mechanisms to explain such a relationship are not well-understood. This project aims to fill this gap from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating the social and biomedical standpoi…

The consequences of flexible work for health: Are we looking at the right place
Association between working conditions and health Working conditions in industrialised countries have changed dramatically over the past two decades. The internationalisation of investment, production and trade, the application of new technologies, and the emergence of new forms of work organisation have transformed what had become standard forms of work arrangements, capital-labour accords and employment contracts. One of the most significant ch…
A new typology of policies to tackle health inequalities and scenarios of impact based on Rose's population approach
The last decade has witnessed a surge in interest for policies to tackle health inequalities. Adequate theoretical development of policy models is needed to understand how to design and evaluate equity-oriented health policies. In this paper we review Graham's typology of policies (focused on the worst-off, on the gap, or on the gradient) and propose an adaptation (targeted, universal with additional targeting, redistributive, and proportionate u…

A glossary for the social epidemiology of work organisation: Part 1, Terms from social psychology
Work is the means by which most human beings provide for their daily sustenance. Although many theorists suggest that work occupies a central place in human life, more recently some have questioned the centrality of work, arguing that we are now in a postindustrial, consumer-oriented society where consumption has replaced work as a source of health and disease in our societies.1,2 Nevertheless, even in wealthy countries most adults still spend mo…
