| PMCH SEMINAR SERIES Thursday, March 25, 2010 The lives of a CEO, a lab supervisor, a janitor, and an unemployed mother illustrate how class shapes opportunities for good health. Those on the top have the most access to power, resources and opportunity – and thus the best health. Those on the bottom are faced with more stressors – unpaid bills, jobs that don’t pay enough, unsafe living conditions,
exposure to environmental hazards, lack of control over work and schedule, worries over children – and the fewest resources available to help them cope. |
