Income-related inequalities and horizontal inequity in health-care utilisation have recently been widely studied using linear additive models of decomposition. This paper applies new methods of decomposition by factors, based on microsimulation technique. Besides avoiding the unavoidable price...

We present a unified structural equation modelling framework for the regression-based decomposition of rank-dependent indicators of socioeconomic inequality of health and compare it with a simple ordinary least squares regression. The structural equation modelling framework forms the basis for a...

Prenatal care is an essential segment of maternal health-care. In this paper an attempt has been made to examine the socioeconomic determinants of maternal iron supplementation and sufficient maternal iron supplementation as components of prenatal care. Micro-data having 25999 and 19764...
