Social Science & Medicine, 1990, vol. 31, issue 3, 405-412

Abstract: In Yugoslavia the problem of social inequities comes on the political agenda every time when society is in a crisis. This paper describes the pattern of social inequities in health. Data are mostly used from statistics. The feature of health inequalities are shown. The marked inequalities exist regionally, among republics and provinces, in spite of the reallocation of resource. Health inequalities exist also among social classes however they are measured. Individually based measurement shows inequalities in health between all individuals of the population. As Yugoslav society is passing through severe economic crisis when social structure polarizes and becomes rigid--inequalities in health tend to increase.
