Sammanfattning
Class inequality is measured both as to size and direction, by Gini-index and rank-order correlation, respectively. Separate analyses are made for the whole material, men and women, and doctor certified absence days. Results show clear differences between the class measures for diagnoses more closely associated to work conditions, while the measures coincide in other cases.
