Somebody get me a doctor: Voluntary health insurance, social background and subjective health in Europe, 2002–2022
BACKGROUND: The last couple of decades have seen a steady increase in the uptake of voluntary health insurance (VHI) across Europe. So far, very little is known about the impact of VHI on the health of the population and the possible inequalities in health. OBJECTIVE: We examined the relationship between VHI in European countries and the subjective health of its citizens in the period 2002-22, and whether this is contingent upon a person's social…
Computer World: Digital Public Services and Well-Being in Europe
Although research on the digitalization of public services has focused on many different areas, the role of digital public services (DPS) in shaping citizens’ well-being is a rather under-researched topic. This study investigates how inequalities and internet usage influence the relationship between digital public services (DPS) and individual well-being. Drawing on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the digitalization paradox, and broader th…
Are there diminishing returns to social spending? Social policy, health and health inequalities in European countries. A comparative longitudinal survey data analysis
This paper revisits the relationship between welfare arrangements and health (inequality) considerations. We examine whether specific welfare arrangements improve health and reduce health inequalities and if these effects diminish at higher levels of social protection. Our analyses of general self-rated health focuses on eight social spending categories and total social spending, using Eurostat data and statistical modelling techniques that disti…
Social functioning and personal development among individuals with low literacy skills; the role of active labour market policy
Even as education becomes increasingly important for functioning in society, and many welfare states have taken responsibility for providing education, many individuals have insufficient skill levels to fully participate in society. This paper investigates the relationship between literacy skills and basic functioning and participation in society, focusing on the role of the welfare state, and whether individuals with low literacy skills are bett…
Non-communicable Diseases among Refugee Claimants in Greek Refugee Camps: Are Their Health-care Needs Met
Little is known about the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among newly arrived refugees in Europe and whether their medical needs are met. To elucidate the prevalence of NCDs and unmet medical needs in the different migration phases, we used survey data on 267 adult asylum seekers at Greek refugee camps in 2016. Using multiple logistic regression analysis, we estimated determinants for unmet medical needs in Greece. The most prevale…
Happiness and the role of social protection: How types of social spending affected individuals’ life satisfaction in OECD countries, 1980–2012
The growing literature on individual determinants of subjective well-being has given little attention to political factors. This paper considers the welfare state, and how social expenditure affects individuals’ self-reported life satisfaction. The statistical analysis uses indicators of subjective well-being, reflecting individuals from OECD-countries between 1980 and 2012, with data gathered from the Eurobarometer and the World Values Survey - …
