Abstract
The influence of contextual factors on individual health status has been demonstrated by a number of studies even when controlling for the individual socio-economic situation (and other relevant factors). The article examines whether and to what extent variables of the place of residence have an effect on individual health status. The authors do not only refer to income levels and inequality, but also to effects of the educational level and inequality and the regional unemployment rate. As data basis for the individual level, the authors use the 2006 wave of the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) and add regional information on the aggregate level based on the regional units (Raumordnungsregionen) of the Microcensus of 2005. These data will be analyzed using multilevel models. The results reveal that regional educational inequality intensifies the individual educational effect, whereby members of less-educated groups in educationally disparate regions exhibit particularly low health chances. In addition, a high regional unemployment rate intensifies the negative effect of individual unemployment on men's health.
Summary in another language
Der Einfluss von Kontextfaktoren auf den individuellen Gesundheitsstatus hat sich in zahlreichen Studien selbst dann gezeigt, wenn auf die individuelle sozioökonomische Situation (und sonstige relevante Einflussgrößen) kontrolliert wurde. Der Beitrag untersucht, ob und inwiefern sich Merkmale des Wohnortes auf den individuellen Gesundheitsstatus auswirken. Dabei wird nicht nur auf Einkommensniveau und -ungleichheit Bezug genommen, sondern ebenfalls auf Effekte von Bildungsniveau und -ungleichheit und der regionalen Arbeitslosenquote. Als Datengrundlage für die individuellen Merkmale wird die Welle des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) aus 2006 herangezogen, während regionale Informationen auf der Basis der Raumordnungsregionen des Mikrozensus von 2005 zugespielt und mittels Mehrebenenanalyse ausgewertet werden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen zum einen, dass regionale Bildungsungleichheit den individuellen Bildungseffekt verstärkt. Demnach weisen Angehörige bildungsferner Schichten in bildungsungleichen Regionen besonders geringe Gesundheitschancen auf. Zum anderen verstärkt eine hohe regionale Arbeitslosenquote den negativen Effekt der individuellen Arbeitslosigkeit der Männer auf ihre Gesundheit.
