Family Caregivers’ Perspectives on Direct Financial Support Programs
Background and Objective This study examines how intensive caregivers in Nova Scotia who receive the provincial government’s Caregiver Benefit interpret and experience the program, particularly in the context of its ambiguous goals. Methods A qualitative descriptive methodological design was used to ensure that the reporting of findings remained close to participants’ own words and to emphasize the practicality of findings. Twenty family caregive…
Initiatives to increase childhood vaccination coverage
Background Childhood vaccination rates fluctuate over time and do not always meet the levels recommended by the WHO. Objective This study aims to provide an overview of measures countries have introduced to increase vaccination rates. Methods We developed a structured data collection template that was completed by country experts from Europe, Israel, the USA, and Canada. Experts were identified using the European Observatory on Health Systems and…
Impact of the expanded old age income security programme on suicide mortality among older adults in South Korea
INTRODUCTION: This study examined the impact of the expansion, implemented in July 2014, of Korea's tax-financed (non-contributory) old age income security programme, the Basic Pension (BP), on suicide mortality among individuals aged 65+. METHODS: Using aggregate mortality data from 2010 to 2019, we employed event-history difference-in-differences (DD), 2×2 DD, and difference-in-difference-in-differences (DDD) approaches, leveraging two identifi…
Parameterizing agent-based models using an online game
Agent-based models (ABMs) of human systems are often parameterized using real-world data. For some ABMs this is not possible because the reality upon which the models are based does not exist or is not generalizable from one setting to another. In this paper we implement an online decision game to parameterize an agent-based model of pedestrian and cyclist route choice decisions in a neighbourhood. Our conceptual framework is to use an experiment…
Mitigating the regressivity of private mechanisms of financing healthcare
Progressive financing of health care can help advance the equity and financial protection goals of health systems. All countries' health systems are financed in part through private mechanisms, including out-of-pocket payments and voluntary health insurance. Yet little is known about how these financing schemes are structured, and the extent to which policies in place mitigate regressivity. This study identifies the potential policies to mitigate…
Equity Challenges in Canada's Old Age Security Pension
Le programme de la sécurité de la vieillesse (SV) procure aux personnes âgées canadiennes un revenu composé de deux prestations : le régime universel de pension de la SV et son complément pour les prestataires à faible revenu, le supplément de revenu garanti (SRG). Après avoir présenté le développement du programme de la SV et les critères d'admissibilité s'y rapportant, les auteurs ont évalué de manière empirique deux problèmes d’équité. D'abord…
Equal Opportunity and Luck
Equality of opportunity (EOp) is a broad category of egalitarian theories that has attracted considerable attention in recent decades. Empirical implementations of EOp primarily focus on the explained component of inequality, classifying determinants of the outcome (e.g., health) into effort —legitimate causes of inequality—and circumstance —illegitimate causes of inequality. Largely overlooked is unexplained variation, which in statistical analy…

“But…I survived”
Studies that assess the association between race and health have focused intently on the cumulative impact of continuous exposure to racism over an extended period. While these studies have contributed significantly to the general understanding of the life experiences and health status of racialized people, few studies have explicitly bridged the experiences of aging with gender and the wide structural barriers and social factors that have shaped…
The association between housing cost burden and avoidable mortality in wealthy countries
BACKGROUND: It has been shown that the high cost of housing can be detrimental to individual health. However, it is unknown (1) whether high housing costs pose a threat to population health and (2) whether and how social policies moderate the link between housing cost burden and mortality. This study aims to reduce these knowledge gaps. METHODS: Country-level panel data from Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries …

Food insecurity, home ownership and income-related equity in dental care use and access
Redistributing income may not be enough to reduce inequities. Careful monitoring of equity in dental care is needed together with interventions targeting fragile groups not only in terms of income but also in improving house and food security

Prise en compte de la durée et de l'intensité du tabagisme dans l'estimation de la mortalité attribuable au tabac
La méthode canonique d'estimation de la mortalité attribuable au tabac ne prend en compte ni le nombre d'années durant lesquelles l'individu a fumé, ni le temps écoulé depuis l'arrêt le cas échéant. Elle ne permet donc pas de mettre en oeuvre des projections incluant des scénarios alternatifs de modification des comportements d'initiation ou d'arrêt du tabagisme. Cet article propose une nouvelle méthode qui combine, d'une part, les valeurs empiri…
The 2018 decision to establish an Advisory Council on adding pharmaceuticals to universal health coverage in Canada
Canada is the only Universal Health Insurance country in the OECD without universal insurance for outpatient prescription drugs, a situation generally perceived as unfair and inefficient. In June 2018, the federal government launched an Advisory Council on the Implementation of National Pharmacare, to report in 2019 on the best strategy to implement a national Pharmacare program that would provide all Canadians access to affordable outpatient pre…

Approaches and Alternatives to the Wealth Index to Measure Socioeconomic Status Using Survey Data
Monitoring progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 requires the global community to disaggregate targets along socio-economic lines, but little has been published critically analyzing the appropriateness of wealth indices to measure socioeconomic status in low- and middle-income countries. This critical interpretive synthesis analyzes the appropriateness of wealth indices for measuring social health inequalities and provides an…
Transnational wealth-related health inequality measurement
The study of international differences in wealth-related health inequalities has traditionally consisted of country-by-country comparisons using own-country relative measures of socioeconomic status, which effectively ignores absolute differences in both wealth and health that can differ between and within countries. To address these limitations, we propose an alternative approach: that of constructing a transnational measure of wealth-related he…
Health inequalities and inequities by age
Successful aging is an important policy goal in an aging society. A key indicator of successful aging of a population is whether health inequalities (differences) and inequities (unfair differences) in the population increase or decrease with age. This study investigates how health inequalities and inequities differ across age groups in the Canadian population within the equity framework of equal opportunity for health, using two popular measures…
Moral Hazard in Health Insurance
This history of moral hazard in health insurance shows that this concept is different from how moral hazard is understood in economics outside of health. Health economists are divided on their understanding and conceptualization of moral hazard in health insurance and we show that these divisions can be organized along two main questions: one on the nature of demand for health care and one on the nature of demand for health insurance. The former …
On Removing “Age” and Especially “Old Age” as a Criterion in Social Programs
Age, measured as years since birth, is a widely used criterion to determine eligibility for pension, health care and other social benefits. However, keeping age markers fixed ignores large and continuing gains in longevity and health, and can create work incentives (or disincentives) that become increasingly problematic over time; beyond that, age is a poor criterion for access to health care services. Removing age markers and introducing a guara…

Pourquoi les systèmes de santé sont-ils organisés différemment
Un système national de santé organise et régule simultanément deux types d’interventions publiques : tout d’abord, comme toute politique sociale, il met en œuvre des transferts de revenus, entre ménages, selon la richesse et l’état de santé, mais aussi entre ménages et producteurs de soins. Il agit aussi comme régulateur des relations entre des producteurs et des consommateurs d’un bien essentiellement privé mais difficilement observable, la sant…
Quel filet de sécurité pour la santé ? Une approche économique et organisationnelle de la couverture maladie universelle
La loi de couverture maladie universelle a instauré un droit à l'accès aux soins. Ce dispositif sera principalement évalué sur sa capacité à transformer le recours aux soins de ses bénéficiaires. Les évaluations quantitatives porteront sur une comparaison entre la situation avant la CMU et la situation postérieure à la loi. On propose ici des pistes pour une évaluation complémentaire, comparant le dispositif en vigueur à des formules alternatives…

Carrière familiale et professionnelle
Les décisions des mères de famille quant à leur carrière professionnelle et leur procréation ont été abordées de deux points de vue opposés : celui de la micro-économie qui décrit, hic et nunc, les comportements des femmes en termes d'arbitrage et de satisfaction ; l'autre est fondé sur l'héritage socio-économique de longue date. Après un recensement rapide de la littérature existante sur chacun des points de vue, les auteurs explorent les possib…
Reconstitution de carrières démographiques et professionnelles sur une population d'ouvriers migrants du XIXe siècle

Sur l'exemple des centres d'impressions sur étoffes autour de Courbevoie entre 1830 et 1890, l'auteur esquisse un modèle cohérent de relations entre l'industrialisation et les comportements dans le cas d'une urbanisation. Pour cela, il élabore une méthode originale de suivi des carrières à partir d'un échantillonnag…

The question of regulating health systems
This article reviews the main modes of regulating health systems in Europe and industrialised countries. Regulation aims to reconcile four contradictory objectives: securing the best possible quality at reasonable expense, whilst ensuring fair distribution and encouraging innovation. Equity is frequently taken to be beyond consideration; only countries with a decreasing allocation of resources consider it a full-blown problem. But regulation is m…
La question de la régulation des systèmes de santé
Cet article passe en revue les principaux modes de régulation des systèmes de santé en Europe et dans les pays riches. Cette régulation vise à concilier quatre objectifs contradictoires : obtenir la meilleure qualité possible pour une dépense contenue, en assurant une distribution équitable et en encourageant l'innovation. L'équité est souvent considérée comme hors champ ; seuls les pays à allocation descendante de ressources en font un problème …
Le système de santé au Canada
Le système de santé canadien se caractérise par la juxtaposition d'un panier de biens et services dont le financement est public (soins de médecins et hospitaliers), et pour lequel le financement privé est interdit ou très limité et d'un ensemble de consommations laissées pour une large part au privé (dentaire, médicament, soins à domicile, santé mentale, transports). Sur la partie publique, l'évaluation du besoin par les professionnels de santé …
