The estimates of the extent, distribution and trend of global income poverty provided in the World Bank's World Development Reports for 1990 and 2000/01 are neither meaningful nor reliable. The Bank uses an arbitrary international poverty line unrelated to any clear conception of what poverty is. It employs a misleading and inaccurate measure of purchasing power “equivalence” that vitiates inte...
This article presents an overview of calculations of global inequality, recently and over the long term, and outlines the main controversies and political and philosophical implications of the findings. It focuses in particular on the winners and losers of the most recent episode of globalization, from 1988 to 2008. It suggests that the period has witnessed the first decline in inequality betwe...
Throughout the world there exists a notable relationship between income inequality and health. Political factors and circumstances, which arguably affect the distribution of income, may also be related to population health. This paper explores the geographic dimensions of these relationships in an attempt to determine whether or not levels of democracy complement, influence or confound the asso...
The Millennium Development Goals have ended and the Sustainable Development Goals have begun, marking a shift in the global health landscape. The frame of reference has changed from a focus on 8 development priorities to an expansive set of 17 interrelated goals intended to improve the well-being of all people. In this time of change, several groups, including the Lancet Commission on Global Su...
This paper analyses levels and trends in within-country income inequality during the second-half of the 20th century. Two broad general trends were visible: beginning in the 1950s and 1960s inequality declined substantially in most countries, and in the 1980s and 1990s it increased more variably and more slightly. However, we focus here on presenting and explaining the distinct ‘macroregional’ ...
Global Health (GH) as a discipline emerged mainly in the last decade and is still a developing subject. Koplan et al. defined GH as ‘an area for study, research, and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving health equity for all people world-wide.’1 Kickbushtermed it as ‘those health issues that transcend national boundaries and governments and call for actions on the g...
Background Economic growth in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) has raised interest in how disease burden patterns are related to economic development. Meanwhile, poverty-related diseases are considered to be neglected in terms of research and development (R&D). Objectives Developing intuitive and meaningful metrics to measure how different diseases are related to poverty and neglected in...
The paper by Jakovljevic and Getzen highlighted the fact that low-and middle-income countries have been grabbing an ever larger share of global health spending over the last couple of decades (1). Share of global health spending of low-and middle-income countries as of 1995 expressed in million current PPP international $US grew from 26. and Vietnam) with a joint contribution to the global tota...
Analysing a large sample of 1980–2004 unbalanced panel data, the current study presents comparative global evidence on the role of (income) inequality in poverty reduction. The evidence involves both an indirect channel via the tendency of high inequality to decrease the rate at which income is transformed to poverty reduction and the tendency of rising inequality to increase poverty. Based on ...
The Disease Control Priorities program (DCP) has pioneered the use of economic evidence in health. The theory of change (ToC) put forward by Norheim is a further welcome and necessary step towards translating DCP evidence into better priority setting in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We also agree that institutionalising evidence for informed priority-setting processes is crucial. Un...
