In recent years, attention to social determinants of health has grown. Social determinants of health concern individual characteristics (income, employment, access to services) and contextual factors (for example, public policies) which have a surprisingly large influence on health and can reinforce or mitigate biological and genetic factors. The panel will present the results of recent research in this field, with a specific focus on the link between mental health, job quality, pension reforms, and social assistance. Lastly, we will discuss how research can guide future public policy to improve social well-being.
