Higher income inequality

Despite advances in cancer research and treatment, the burden of cancer is not evenly distributed. People experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage have higher rates of cancer, later stage at diagnoses, and are dying of cancers that are preventable and screen-detectable. However, less is known about barriers to accessing cancer treatment.

This paper uses household panel data from rural Vietnam to examine the role of status seeking in the relationship between income inequality and savings. Results show that households living in provinces with higher income inequality are likely to save more to improve their social status, which is consistent with statusseeking hypothesis.

The study on the relationship between the higher education and income inequality is of great importance to exploring ways to reduce income inequality. With the macro-level time-series data of the United States from 1967 to 2015, this paper empirically tested the relationship between higher education and income inequality. The result indicated that there is a significant inverted-U relationship between higher education and income inequality, that is, when the higher education is not widely available, the bonus of higher education is significant, which can aggravate income inequality.

Most analyses of the relationship between health and the economy focus on average health, but health is actually very unevenly distributed across society. In all countries with available data, significant differences in health exist between socioeconomic groups, in the sense that people with lower levels of education, occupation and/or income tend to have systematically higher morbidity and mortality rates.

Advocates of lower statutory tax rates argue that reduced rates would increase economic growth, increase saving and investment, and boost productivity. Skeptics of this view argue that higher tax revenues are necessary for debt reduction, that tax rates on high-income taxpayers are too low (i.e., they violate the “Buffett rule”), and that higher tax rates on high-income taxpayers would moderate increasing income inequality.

Advocates of lower tax rates argue that reduced rates would increase economic growth, increase saving and investment, and boost productivity (increase the size of the economic pie). Skeptics of this view argue that higher tax revenues are necessary for debt reduction, that tax rates on high- income taxpayers are too low (i.e., they violate the “Buffett rule”), and that higher tax rates on high-income taxpayers would moderate increasing income inequality (change how the economic pie is distributed across families).

We modelled potential impacts from a decline in international students, initially through the  construction of a Baseline case for growth which largely held prior to current trends. From a  growth  forecast  for  2010  of  214,212  students, we model  this  baseline  and  three  realistic  scenarios. The ‘Sideways’ scenario reflected an initial drop in international higher education  commencements of 10% on 2010 enrolment  levels  in 2011, with numbers stabilising at this  level  through 2012 and 2013 before a return  to Baseline growth of around 3% per annum.

The social democratic political economies showed higher levels of union density, that is, a greater propor- tion of workers belonging to organised labour unions, social security expenditures, and public employment levels. They had the largest public expenditure in health care from 1960 to 1990, and greatest health care coverage of citizens. These nations instituted full employment strategies, achieved high rates of female employment, and showed the lowest degree of income inequality and poverty rates.

Rising health premiums are exacerbating income inequality and making coverage too costly for many Americans. The Kaiser Family Foundation found that employer-sponsored health insurance premiums have more than doubled in the last nine years, a rate four times faster than wage increases.38 A study by McKinsey Global Institute of widening income gaps among U.S.

A greater understanding of inequalities is also crucial to recognizing the limits of what promoting positive mental health can achieve. Positive mental health does confer considerable protection and advantage, but it does so predominantly among those with equal levels of resources. In other words, among poor children, those with higher levels of emotional wellbeing have better educational outcomes than their equally poor peers. However, richer children generally do better still, regardless of emotional or cognitive capability.
