Social Inequality and the Continuing Russian Mortality Crisis

Mike Haynes

Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe, 2013, vol. 21, issue 1, 25-49

Abstract: This paper re-examines the Russian mortality crisis drawing attention to the evidence of the intensification of pre-existing mortality gradients and their relationships to social inequality. The paper notes that social scientists and area specialists have lagged behind health and demographic specialists in drawing attention to the links between social inequality and death in Russia. It suggests that social epidemiological approaches offer a way to link the analysis of death to the economic and social structures of society in Russia.
