Document Summary

De ning population health: population health focuses on improving the health status of the population rather than individuals. Focusing on the health of populations also requires reducing health inequalities between groups: one assumption of a population health approach is that reductions in health inequities require reductions in material and social inequities. What is (public) policy: course of action or inaction chosen by (public) authorities to address a given problem or interrelated set of problems. Pal, 2005: policies are developed and implemented by governments, agencies, organizations, and/or associations. Recapping esping-andersen typology of welfare states i: social democratic (e. g. , sweden, norway, denmark, finland), liberal (uk, usa, Canada, australia), and conservative (germany, france, italy, portugal) welfare states form a continuum of government support to citizens: these supports range from high government intervention welfare systems in the. Social democratic countries to residual welfare systems as seen in liberal political economies. Recapping conservative nations: fall midway in their provisions.
