Economics of Health Inequalities Workshop, 16 October

The Centre for Health Economics presents: Economics of Health Inequalities Workshop
Monday 16 October, 9.15 am – 3.30 pm
Plenary Room, Monash University, Level 7, 271 Collins St Melbourne CBD

Poor individuals are likely to be sicker and to die younger than rich individuals. To successfully combat such inequalities, we need to appropriately measure, compare and evaluate population health, the determinants of health and healthcare use across socioeconomic groups. The aim of the workshop is to showcase the latest evidence and methods to measure health inequalities and to model the impact of policies on inequalities. The workshop will consist of a series of lectures and discussions from international and Australian experts and will leave room for participants to interact and discuss important health inequality issues with the speakers. It provides a forum for the exchange of expertise between researchers, policy makers, students and other stakeholders. Participants will be asked to provide details of questions or topics of particular interest which may be discussed in the final session.
