Our estimates suggest that the economic impact of socioeconomic inequalities in health is likely to be substantial. While the estimates of inequalities-related losses to health as a ‘capital good’ (leading to less labour productivity) seem to be modest in relative terms (1.4% of GDP), they are large in absolute terms (€141 billion). It is valuing health as a ‘consumption good’ which makes clear that the economic impact of socioeconomic inequalities in health is really huge: in the order of about €1,000 billion, or 9.5% of GDP.

For example, if it were possible to implement a number of equity-oriented anti- tobacco policies which would reduce the prevalence of smoking in the lower socioeconomic groups by 33%, while the prevalence of smoking in the higher socioeconomic groups would decline by 25%, our analyses suggest that a substantial impact would be generated. Not only would health inequalities be reduced considerably, but also some 7% of the economic costs of health inequalities through mortality and morbidity would be taken away (including the costs of health care and social security benefits).

Sexual harassment offline is a well-known, highly prevalent, extensively investigated, and intensively treated social problem.

In implementing a programme of privatisation and restructuring, it should be recognised that the restructuring process, if left solely to the market forces, may create substantial unemployment and incur considerable social costs. Supporting a programme of careful restructuring by the creation of new business out of the old, engaging under-utilised assets, with or without an element of public subsidy, may add considerable value to local economies. The experience of the transitional economies in Europe shows the potential for creating small businesses out of large company restructuring.

Remarkably, predictable skill strategies also choose individual mutual funds within the outperforming industries that, in turn, substantially outperform their industry benchmarks, even though these industry benchmarks do not account for any trading costs or fees.
