SUMMARY:Inequality of Opportunity in Health and the Principle of Natural Re
 ward : Evidence from European Countries
DESCRIPTION:Ce séminaire est organisé par l'Institut de recherche en sant
 é publique de l'Université de Montréal (IRSPUM).Conférencière :Floren
 ce Jusot est professeur des universités en sciences économiques à l’U
 niversité Rouen et chercheur associé à l'Institut National d'Etudes D
 émographiques. Ses recherches se concentrent sur les inégalités de san
 té et portent en particulier sur la construction des inégalités des cha
 nces en santé au cours de la vie.Résumé : This paper aims to quantify 
 and compare inequalities of opportunity in health across European countrie
 s. Recent developments in the philosophicalliterature regarding social jus
 tice identify some types of inequality as more objectionable than others. 
 The most obvious justification for making adistinction between “legitima
 te” and “illegitimate” differences in outcomes is that the former di
 fferences can be attributed to factors for which theindividual is responsi
 ble\, called efforts\, whilst the latter differences can be attributed to 
 factors which the individual is not responsible\, calledcircumstances.The 
 issue at stake when measuring inequality of opportunity is how to treat th
 e correlation between circumstances and effort. This paper considerstwo al
 ternative normative ways of treating the correlation between effort\, as m
 easured by lifestyles\, and circumstances\, as measured by parentaland chi
 ldhood characteristics\, championed by Brian Barry and John Roemer. This s
 tudy relies on regression analysis and proposes several measuresof inequal
 ity of opportunity. Data from the Retrospective Survey of SHARELIFE\, whic
 h focuses on life histories of European people aged 50 and over\,are used.
 In most countries\, inequalities of opportunity in health are mainly drive
 n by social background affecting adult health directly\, and so would requ
 irepolicies compensating for poorer initial conditions. On the other hand\
 , our results suggest a strong social and family determinism of lifestyles
  inBelgium\, the Netherlands\, Italy\, Germany\, Poland\, and Denmark\, wh
 ich emphasises the importance of inequalities of opportunity in health wit
 hinthose countries and calls for targeted prevention policies.
