About the project
The project aims to explore the relationship between work, worklessness and social protection as social determinants of health inequalities, with an assets based approach. In particular the project will:
Raise awareness of health inequalities with those working at EU, MS and regional level working on the growth and development, anti-discrimination, and social protection agendas and their role in relation to health inequalities.
Identify effective practice in work, worklessness and social protection to help to address health inequalities. These findings will be disseminated through networks by EuroHealthNet.
Draw together the knowledge base on what works to tackle health inequalities, in areas such as work and health, back to work schemes and minimising the harmful effects of worklessness.
Contribute to the development of health inequalities strategies across Europe, making a timely contribution to the WHO European review on social determinants of health.
