2011, Explorations in Economic History
AI-generated Abstract
This paper examines the historical context of socioeconomic inequalities in mortality, questioning whether these disparities can be traced back to pre-industrial societies or if they arose primarily as a result of industrialization. It highlights contrasting hypotheses regarding the constancy and evolution of mortality gradients across different socioeconomic groups, emphasizing the importance of public health interventions and intergenerational factors in shaping the income-mortality gradient throughout history.
