Sociology / Unit 9 Soc 1581 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Core, Semi-Peripheral, and Peripheral Nations and Health
Captions available
The idea
Soc 0875/0876's core, semi-peripheral, and peripheral classification predicts which health burdens a nation's system manages.
In practice
A core nation's system manages the cost of access to established care; a peripheral nation's system manages infectious disease and clean water.
Where people slip
This classification names a pattern in what problems a health system faces, not a ranking of which nation's people are healthier.
