Abstract: The cumulative (dis)advantage hypothesis states that health disparities between education groups increase with age. The present study examined this hypothesis in a comparative analysis of the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Sweden. These countries offer sharp contrasts in the social conditions that may intensify or inhibit processes of cumulative (dis)advantage. Using harmonized panel data from the HRS, ELSA, and SHARE, the study applied Poisson multilevel regression models to trace cha… Show more

“…Previously, studies testing the CAD hypothesis focused exclusively on one institutional context (e.g., ). However, a new wave of research [28][29][30][31][32][33][34] strengthens the argument that a fourth central principle, namely how country context modifies the way in which CAD processes unfold over time, is needed to further a deeper understanding of CAD as a dynamic, contextualised process within social systems.…”

“…As a high quality data infrastructure on ageing has matured, and a consensus on how to investigate CAD has emerged, exemplified by Wilson, Shuey and Elder’s three central tenets, the occurrence and strength of this process has been tested in contexts other than the US: across the whole of Europe [ 25 , 35 ], in individual European countries such as Germany [ 19 ], Sweden [ 18 ] and Switzerland [ 5 ], as well as comparing several European countries with contrasting positions in terms of their welfare systems [ 32 , 33 ]. These studies illustrate that the US context is exceptionally inductive to CAD processes, combining high initial levels of health problems, with a large educational health gap, both widening over time within cohorts, as well as widening up for younger cohorts [ 33 ]. In contrast, European countries show a more mixed picture, with an educational health gap that diverge over age, which is less pronounced in more egalitarian countries, and which is not universally wider for younger cohorts [ 19 , 33 ].…”
