In this course we examine how globalization affects various types of social determinants of health and health inequalities, which in turn influence individual's health and population health. The course emphasizes on the social and policy aspects of health issues. We begin with an introduction to the framework of social determinants of health, typology of policy level interventions to tackle health inequalities and methodological issues. Following that, selected topics will be addressed from a social determinant of health perspective, including health care arrangements, employment and working conditions, gender, minority status, stigma etc. We will review the state-of-the-art knowledge and discuss potential policy interventions to promote health equity both on the domestic and international levels.
