Accounting for socio-economic inequalities in health to inform SDG decision making: A proof-of-concept study
Most SDG-inequality indices rely on a unidimensional design which cannot reflect how a given health outcome is distributed along the socio-economic spectrum. The concentration index can overcome this limitation. With an application to adult excess weight data, the concentration index was illustrated...

| description | Most SDG-inequality indices rely on a unidimensional design which cannot reflect how a given health outcome is distributed along the socio-economic spectrum. The concentration index can overcome this limitation. With an application to adult excess weight data, the concentration index was illustrated along with a decomposition method which allowed for key predictors to be identified. An Erreyger's concentration index and Shapley decomposition-based approach provide a relatively simple analytical tool to the monitoring of socio-economic inequalities in health. Such analytical approach should be considered as a monitoring tool by public managers to inform SDG policy and budgetary decisions. |
