A significant amount of health and health inequity can be attributed to social determinants of health. This thesis places a special focus on the social determinants of universal health coverage and labour market policies as these two areas have undergone extensive reforms in modern day China and therefore present a good case. China's move from a planned to a mixed economy has led to rapid economic growth as well as rising inequality, including rising health disparity. Recent reforms have implemented measures towards UHC in the healthcare sector and aimed for a stronger regulation of the labour market. There is a lack of research in this field. Cross-sectional studies have been limited by the “healthy worker effect” and longitudinal studies are lacking. This study examines the effect of social determinants and working conditions on the health status of workers in China in a longitudinal cohort study.
