Description
Azharuddin Akhtar, Indrani Roy Chowdhury, Pallabi Gogoi, and SriPriya Reddy shared a study in twenty twenty-four. It is about fairness in child immunization across India. Shots give their full social gain only when spread by need. They should not be spread by wealth or by region. The team measured two kinds of inequity. They used a national health survey from twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen.
One kind is horizontal inequity. It means kids with equal needs get unequal care because of social position. The other kind is vertical inequity. It means kids with greater need do not get greater coverage to match. The team used standardization methods and a corrected concentration index to size both. They broke both down by the factors that drive them. The aim is to show policymakers just where fairness breaks down.
