Variation in perceived health across gender, working status, educational level, and regional health care expenditure in Spain (2014–2017) Godoy Bermúdez, Amanda Rojo Gallego-Burín, Araceli María Delgado Márquez, Luisa Martín Martín, José Jesús Sánchez Martínez, María Teresa López Del Amo González, María Del Puerto A gender perspective was used to analyze whether and how education, unemployment, and per capita public health expenditure were associated with perceived health among the Spanish population between the years 2014 and 2017. Using multilevel methodologies (looking at year, individual, and region) and linear and logistic specifications, we analyzed longitudinal microdata files from the Survey on Living Conditions. The results suggest that women with lower educational levels tend to report worse health than their more educated counterparts. On the other hand, women’s bad health was not associated with unemployment, unlike men’s. Regional per capita public health expenditure was not associated with perceived health in either men or women 2023-10-05T09:38:50Z 2023-10-05T09:38:50Z 2023-07-14 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Godoy-Bermu´dez A, Rojo-Gallego-Burin A, Delgado-Ma´rquez L, Martı´n-Martı´n JJ, Sa´nchez- Martı´nez MT, Lo´pez del Amo-Gonza´lez MP (2023) Variation in perceived health across gender, working status, educational level, and regional health care expenditure in Spain (2014–2017).
