“An imbalance between the rich and the poor is the oldest and the most fatal ailment of all publics.” This is a saying of the old historian, Plutarch. Inequality has become and will be one of key issues more and more over times in Korea. The reason may be that health is one of the most significant elements for mankind to survive. The reason may be that inequality in health is the worst inequality of all. Actually, there is no more serious inequality than the fact that you’ll die sooner only because you’re poor.
The causes of health inequalities are very diverse. Originally, these stemmed from structural contradictions in a society such as class inequalities. Factors such as income, wealth, gender and post-code have an impact on people’s ability to fight illness.
This essay is an attempt to describe inequalities in health such as mortality and morbidity by socioeconomic status in Korea. Socioeconomic inequalities were studied in relation to education level, household income and employment status, smoking prevalence, and geography etc. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to examine the current inequality in health and explore the patterns and trends of present health inequalities in Korea. In particular, I will emphasize the fact that to reduce health inequalities economic inequalities such as poverty should be dealt with fundamentally by focusing on social class contexts. Poor health is a determinant of social exclusion along all its dimensions (Burchardt, 2002). In conclusion, I will comment the government’s health polices for reducing health inequalities and suggest some implications.
In this easy, I revealed the fact that inequalities in health have been wider in the past century and still widening in Korea. For this, I showed historical and practical evidences about health inequalities with the emphasis of economic inequalities such as poverty. These trends of widening have followed and are following socioeconomic polarization in Korea. In fact, tackling health inequalities is very tricky issue to solve because this issue fundamentally stemmed from economic inequalities based on social class and lots of other factors such as unemployment. Moreover, today, income and wealth inequalities are widening.
Actually and originally, some claim that inequalities are inevitable. Are these out of hands? My answer is definitely no. we can deal with this issue. Just we need more wisdom, more consensus, more accurate policies and our will for narrowing health inequalities. For this, the most important thing is that inequalities in health can only be effectively tackled by policies that reduce poverty and income inequality (Shaw, 2003). Public health goals and health promotion programmes should be developed to reduce socioeconomic gaps in health status and improve the health among those with low levels of income and education (Kim, 2003). Korean government should give priority to reducing health inequalities in the social policy agenda. Actually, all human beings have their social rights for adequate living standards, protection against income insecurity and proper health services as well.
