framework now used in studying disparities in health.
Some papers were groundbreaking in an era of profound intellectual and
pioneering work to understand the effects of socioeconomic status on
health. A reading of Pathways to Health today shows that the 1980 Black
Report (Black, 1982) stimulated the thinking of many social scientists
because it had found that gaps in health had widened since the
establishment of the National Health Service.

11. CONCLUSION

survey participation, participation rate was significantly lower in households
with a lower.
 Socio-economic inequalities in participation can introduce a bias in the health
it may be concluded that social issues are problems which affect the
individuals lives. In our lives social issues exist in all forms in all societies, i.e.
a developing country, social issues likes Poverty, water and sanitation, crime
rate, political instability, inflation, etc, all are various social issues. Social
issues are usually concerned as derived from human factors and thus, social
issues cannot be eliminated, the only approach can be to solve most of them
as much as possible. There is no simple conclusion or overwhelming
agreement on the causes of disparities in health, reasons for growing gaps in
health, ways to address them, or even how to study the issues.
