Inequality and Redistribution in Health Care: Analytical Issues for Developmental Social Policy

Abstract

This chapter 1 contends that there is a need for more and better political economy of social policy in the development context, and seeks to contribute to its development. Specifically, the chapter discusses the problem of achieving and sustaining redistributive health care in contexts of inequality and low incomes. Much of our evidence and specific argument are drawn from the health sector in Africa, and in particular from recent research 2 on health care markets in Tanzania. We believe, however, that our arguments have wider resonance for the effort to create effective, context-specific developmental social policy.
