Abstract
This study presents a review of key empirical studies on health inequalities in South Africa
with the aim of contributing to a comparative examination of social inequalities in health
across different countries in Europe and other parts of the World. Studies reviewed were
identified through a computerised search of key words such as inequalities, health, health
inequalities, race, health in South Africa, health systems, socio-economic determinants of health
and livelihoods in South Africa. Studies were included if the primary objective was to explore
health inequality as a variable in child/adult mortality.
