ECO483H1S Health and Economic Inequality

This course provides an interactive overview of the key themes in health and economic inequality, paying particular attention to the bidirectional causal relationship: poor health can lead to poor economic outcomes, while economic insecurity can have serious health implications. Focusing on the current empirical literature and employing a hands-on approach to economic and health data, we investigate social and economic determinants such as income, geography, family, health care, race and gender. Note: hands-on analysis of real-world data using computer programs is a course requirement. The course is open to all students who meet the prerequisites, and necessary support for applicable software is provided.
