Do the rich live longer than the poor? To what extend do class and occupational positions affect ones health? How does social capital relate to illness? In what ways do social structures influence health literacy? How about other variables such as place of residence, home ownership, education, population density and marriage status? Eleven experts collectively grapple with these and other questions in the Japanese and international contexts through empirical studies and comparative analysis.
