Abstract

Using 1991-2006 CHNS panel data, this paper investigates by period the change in the income-related inequalities of health and health care utilization among Chinese residents. The basic method is to decompose the change in the inequalities of health and health care utilization within each period into two parts: the change associated with change in income distribution, and the relative change in health status or health care utilization of residents of different incomes, i.e., health mobility or mobility of health care utilization. By using this method, this paper solves the problem in research on health inequality or health inequity based on cross-sectional data, gets some new results and provides targeted policy recommendations.
