The effect of parenthood on weekly physical activity in four OECD countries – A longitudinal analysis
This study investigates how parenthood affects weekly physical activity and explores how this effect varies by age of the child, parents’ gender, education, and the country context. A substantial body of literature reports parenthood to decline weekly physical activity, though with considerable variation across studies. Although sociological scholarships have long emphasized the diversity of parenthood, few studies have specifically examined the …
Medicalisation of Unemployment: An Analysis of Sick Leave for the Unemployed in Germany Using a Three-Level Model
The study investigates whether sick leave for the unemployed is used to address problems of labour market integration - a process that can theoretically be conceptualised as the medicalisation of unemployment. Estimating a multilevel logistic regression model on a sample of N = 20,196 individuals from the German panel study Labour Market and Social Security (PASS) reveals that, on average, 18% of the unemployed are on sick leave due to poor healt…
Unemployed + Sick = More Deserving? A Survey Experiment on How the Medicalization of Unemployment Affects Public Opinion
The literature on the social legitimacy of welfare benefits has shown that sick persons are perceived more deserving than unemployed individuals. However, these studies examine sick and unemployed persons as distinct groups, while unemployment and sickness are in fact strongly related. Policymakers across Europe have been increasingly concerned with discouraging a medicalization of unemployment and activating sick unemployed persons. Therefore, i…
Constructions of Unemployed Individuals in German Parliamentary Debates on Active Labour Market Policy Reforms: A Comparative Analysis of 2003 and 2016
Active labour market policy (ALMP) reforms have fundamentally changed welfare states over the last decades. Their objectives are quite diverse: workfare reforms have increased conditionality and sanctioning of benefits, while enabling reforms have extended education and training opportunities for the unemployed. Little is known about the political discourse on ALMP reforms. We investigate how the individual unemployed person is portrayed in ALMP …
Medicalisation and psychologisation of poverty? An analysis of the scientific poverty discourse from 1956 to 2017
Recent social science scholarship has argued that poverty is increasingly discussed as a problem that can have medical or psychological causes and could be tackled through therapeutic and health-related interventions. The aim of this study is to investigate if such a trend towards the medicalisation and psychologisation of poverty is present in the scientific poverty discourse. We analysed 13,553 articles on poverty in advanced, industrialised co…
Parenthood and Later Life Health: An International Life Course Analysis of Parents and Childless Adults Aged 50 and Older
This study investigates how women’s and men’s fertility history affect their health in later life and if this relationship varies across countries and cohorts. We use life history data and current health status of persons aged 50 and over from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) for 13 countries. Country-fixed effects regressions show that parenthood itself and the number of children have little impact on later life heal…
The (Missed) Potential of the Patient-centered Medical Home for Disparities
BACKGROUND: Disparities in health care and health outcomes are a significant problem in the United States. Delivery system reforms such as the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) could have important implications for disparities. OBJECTIVES: To investigate what role disparities play in current PCMH initiatives and how their set-up might impact on disparities. RESEARCH DESIGN: We selected 4 state-based PCMH initiatives (Colorado, Massachusetts, P…
Quantifying the contribution of changes in healthcare expenditures and smoking to the reversal of the trend in life expectancy in the Netherlands
This study suggests that changes in Dutch HCE, and not in smoking, made an important contribution to the reversal of the trend in LE; these findings support the view that investments in healthcare are increasingly important for further progress in life expectancy
Confidence in receiving medical care when seriously ill: A seven‐country comparison of the impact of cost barriers

Methods The empirical analysis is based on data from the Commonwealth Fund International Health Policy Survey 2007, with nationally representative samples of adults aged 18 and over. For the a…
Gatekeeping and provider choice in OECD healthcare systems
Gatekeeping and provider choice have become central in health policymaking within the last two decades. This article contributes to the debates in two ways: first, it provides an extended review of evidence on the impact of gatekeeping and provider choice on efficiency, costs, quality, equality and patient empowerment; and second, it empirically analyses regulations and identifies common trends in healthcare reforms in OECD countries since 1990. …
Healthcare systems in Europe: Towards an incorporation of patient access
The core of existing healthcare typologies is the public—private mix in the three areas of funding, provision and regulation of healthcare services. This article aims to contribute to the debate by adding ‘healthcare access’ as an important dimension for comparing healthcare systems. In contrast to previous analyses, I extend the concept of access by looking at regulative aspects and financial incentives that shape entry and reception of care. Ba…
