Title: “Well-being Inequality in the Long Run: An International View”.
The abstract: This paper provides a long-run view of inter-country inequality in well-being based on a new dataset. Well-being inequality has declined over time and the trends in social dimensions concur. Well-being dimensions alter the view on long run inequality derived from real per capita GDP. Inequality in social dimensions declined after World War I while income inequality increased until mid-twentieth century. The spread of mass primary education and the health transitions were the main drivers of such a equalizing trend in well-being. The diffusion of the health transition(s) drove life expectancy inequality. Inequality fell while life expectancy rose throughout the twentieth century as the epidemiological transition was spreading across the globe and, then, came to a halt as it was completed. A new phase of increasing inequality opened at the turn of the century, associated to a second health transition, linked to the successful fight against cardiovascular and respiratory disease that, so far, has only effected the developed countries, giving a boost to life expectancy of the elderly.
