DescriptionThe health gap measured by the range in England and Wales by Gender, 2011.png
English: The health gap measured by the range in England and Wales by Gender. A health gap is the difference in the health experienced between different groups. Health gaps can be measured between men and women, localities, social groups, economic factors or environmental characteristics. Tackling health inequalities or closing the health gap is an important policy issue.
The health gaps discussed in this summary are the differences in self-assessed health experienced between socio-economic groupings of occupations. They are measured as the percentage point difference in the rates of "Not Good" health, reported in the 2011 Census, between the most and least advantaged socio-economic occupations. Current legislation places a duty on health organisations to have regard to reducing health inequalities in decision-making.
The analysis uses seven occupational groupings in the National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (NS-SEC) derived from questions asked in the 2011 Census.
