The psychosocial work environment and stress-related health complaints: an analysis of children's and adolescents' situation in school and the contribution of relative deprivation to income differences in health is assessed.

Abstract

How welfare states influence population health has long been debated but less well tested by research. This book presents new evidence of the effects of Swedish welfare state on the lives of citizens. The analysis and theoretical approaches developed in the book have wide implications for health research and policy beyond Scandinavia
