“…Countries with high income inequality have a large proportion of their population living precarious lives, with low income and insecure jobs. Those at the bottom end of the income distribution are vulnerable, have many comorbidities and live in poor quality houses in highly polluted areas, and there is a clear association between poor health, as measured by mortality, and deprivation [ 18 , 19 ]. Furthermore, the link between inequality and poor health has been widely considered in the UK [ 20 ], and the current COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected many of the most deprived areas of England [ 21 ].…”

Objective To determine the association between income inequality and COVID-19 cases and deaths per million in OECD countries. Methods Cross-sectional regression methods are used to model the relationship between income inequality, as measured by the Gini coefficient, and COVID-19 reported cases and deaths per-million. Results The results demonstrate a significant positive association between income inequality and COVID-19 cases and death per million in all estimated models. A 1% increase in the Gini coefficient is associated with an approximately 4% increase in cases per-million and an approximately 5% increase in deaths per-million. Conclusions The results demonstrate that countries with high levels of income inequality have performed significantly worse when dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak in terms cases and deaths. Income inequality is a proxy for many elements of socioeconomic disadvantage that may contribute to the spread of, and deaths from, COVID-19. These include poor housing, smoking, obesity and pollution. Policy Implications The findings suggest the importance of closing the gap in income inequality and improving the health and incomes of the poorest and most vulnerable groups.

“…It indicates the number of years a newborn infant would live if prevailing patterns of mortality at the time of birth were to remain constant throughout its life. This is one of the most popular health indicators with geographical variability, which is used to evaluate the regional health condition (Gillespie et al, 2014 ; Ivaldi et al, 2020 ). Life expectancy at birth is a more general indicator of health than mortality, reflecting not only mortality rates for all age groups over a period but also economic and medical technological progress accumulated in human society (Acemoglu & Johnson, 2007 ; Wang et al, 2019 ).…”

Public health and health inequality have been widely researched as they are essential for human development and social justice. Although factors influencing public health and health inequality have been explored, an integrated and comprehensive analysis of social, economic, and environmental indicators’ effects on public health and health inequality globally is yet to be conducted. The current study addresses this gap by using a theoretical framework that integrates these three dimensions, examining their effects on public health and health inequality from the perspective of vulnerability. Considering the spatial heterogeneity across countries, spatial econometric models and geographically weighted regressions were conducted for the examination of these effects. Our findings reveal the social indicators of urbanisation ratio, social education level, and social governance capacity had positive effects on public health promotion and health inequality elimination globally. Besides these, environmental risk and economic capacity had relatively low impacts on health inequality. Further, the geographically weighted regression results indicate that vulnerability’s effects on public health and health inequality varied significantly across countries. This integrated analysis provides national policymakers with a new perspective of vulnerability for public health promotion and health inequality reduction.

“…Under this paradigm, one of the best known non-aggregative methods is based on the Partially Ordered Set theory, indicated with the acronym "Poset" [20,[80][81][82]. Poset is a technique that can be applied to study multidimensional systems [79,83,84].…”

“…The procedure described by Fattore [82] consists of assigning a finite Poset a score to each element representing its position in a "low-high" axis. In this way, we obtain the average rank, i.e., the average position assumed by a profile in each of the considered linear extensions.…”

Seniors’ Mobility and Perceptions in Different Urban Neighbourhoods: A Non-Aggregative Approach

In order to highlight the subjective criticality of each neighbourhood to inspire future policy actions, we propose an analysis comparing the perceptions of over-65s residents in the neighbourhoods that make up the Municipality of Genoa. We suggest a new approach based on a quantitative non-aggregative method, Partially Ordered Set (Poset), to measure the levels of satisfaction related to local public transport (LPT), pedestrian mobility, and quality of life in the 25 districts of Genoa. Final data of the analysis come from 401 questionnaires, distributed to residents over 65 years old in the Municipality of Genoa. This approach allows to address the multidimensionality of the phenomenon, as well as its different conceptual spheres. The findings highlight a great variance in local public transport needs perception between different neighbourhoods. In particular, the analysis shows that the types of intervention requested by respondents differ from district to district, so that a common urban transport policy would be ineffective. Some neighbourhoods stress the need for improving pedestrian mobility, whilst local public transport faults dominate in others. There is no significant relation between the three dimensions: Perceived quality of LPT, perceived quality of pedestrian mobility, and perceived quality of neighbourhood. Therefore, interventions should be carefully modulated, according to the specific needs expressed by the residents of each neighbourhood. We conclude that the importance of urban mobility intervention is reduced, whereas the concept of neighbourhood analysis and intervention becomes more relevant.
