Galofré-Vilà, GregoriGómez León, María2021-07-232021-07-232021https://academica-e.unavarra.es/handle/2454/40249Using annual mortality rates at the provincial level for men and women, we construct a Gini index to estimate changes in regional health inequalities since 1860 in Spain. We find a long steady decline in health inequality across provinces from 1860 until today, interrupted only by World War I and the Spanish Civil War. Franco’s 40-year legacy in terms of health is one of health inequality. Today, regional differences across provinces are at their lowest historical levels.29 p.application/pdfengCC Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)HealthMortalityGiniInequalitySpaininfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
