Description: What is class? How can an understanding of class help to explain health inequality? What can be done to address class-based health inequality? While most people acknowledge the existence of class, few recognise that health status is one of the clearest indicators of class inequality in Australia. Despite access to free public health services in Australia, working-class people have higher rates of death, illness, and disability as a result of their living and working conditions.
