Roland Pressat: High Death Rates: Biological and Social Factors.
Whereas relative social equality used to exist in the face of death, major differences appeared between various groups within the population during the 19th Century Industrial Revolution in Europe. In spite of medical and economic progress, this inequality has not disappeared. We can undoubtedly demonstrate the harmful effects of certain behaviors, e.g., the abusive use of tobacco, and the consequences of different attitudes that individuals have with regard to sickness. Nevertheless, the deep causal origins are still not very clear. French statistics on social mortality lead the observer to look into the tie between work and lifespan. Society does not draw any conclusions about this inequality; at least, it has not adopted appropriate social measures which would sufficiently attenuate the effects. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
