abstract: 'Background: A growing literature investigates health effects of the
recent economic crisis. This study examines how different economic
mechanisms affected low self-rated health (SRH) in Europe over the
crisis period (20082011). We measure changes in low SRH over 2008-2011
and analyze how they are accounted for by changes in household income
levels and income distribution (income poverty, income inequality),
labour market developments (increasing unemployment, falling employment,
changes in labour market inactivity), and non-income poverty (material
deprivation).
Methods: We use balanced panel data for 2008-2011 covering 26 European
countries and 43,456 participants. The data come from longitudinal 2011
European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC)
database. Increases in low SRH incidence over time are decomposed into
the contributions of changes in the distribution of covariates and
changes in returns to the covariates. Main covariates include household
income and its distribution, labour market developments, and non-income
poverty (material deprivation). The decompositions are performed using a
detailed non-linear multivariate regression-based decomposition
methodology.
Results: Low SRH incidence increased in Europe during the crisis by
almost 2 percentage points, and by 3.7 percentage points in case of the
Baltic countries. Decomposition analysis shows that: 1) decreasing
household incomes and changing income distribution had no impact on low
SRH incidence, 2) rise of material deprivation accounts for a
significant portion (12\%) of the overall growth in low SRH rates (27\%
for the Baltic countries), 3) decreasing levels of full-time and
part-time employment as well as transitions to unemployment, economic
inactivity, disability, or retirement account jointly for about 21\% of
the rise in low SRH in Europe (73\% for Baltic countries).
Conclusion: Together, the recession-related economic factors account for
about 33\% of the increase in low SRH incidence in Europe during the
crisis, and for about 100\% of the increase in the Baltic countries.
Public health policy during recessions should focus also on reducing
material deprivation through free or subsidized access to public
services, public housing, and other means.'
