Abstract
This issue of the European Journal of Public health contains a number of important contributions on socioeconomic inequalities in health. These clearly illustrate the maturity of this research field, which does not only continue to produce large numbers of empirical analyses, in which the complex webs of causation linking low socioeconomic status to ill-health are gradually disentangled, but also produces more and more policy-oriented papers. Both the British and the Dutch experience with tackling health inequalities are represented in this issue, and show the commitment of policy-makers and researchers in these two countries to developing an empirical evidence-base for policies and interventions to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in health.
