Economic performance measured through the gross domestic product indicator and the poverty rate varies across the whole European Union, together with the considerable income inequalities in the long-term. Economic growth may not bring a reduction in the health inequalities in the individual countries themselves. In order to eliminate health inequalities, the different types of policies implemented in the health, social and economic systems need to be explored in more detail. Mortality is explored through an indicator of the standardised mortality rate for both sexes explained by the several socioeconomic determinants, among which variables such as the variations of the gross domestic product per capita, the healthcare expenditures, the unemployment rate, and the healthcare system financing. Almost in all the described cases, these dimensions have negative impact. All the influences are expressed in a relative way in order to be suitably interpretable. The analysis is not comprehensive; nevertheless, it contains 18 regression models to cover as many aspects as it is possible. The Discussion section offers an evaluation of the obtained results according to the outcome of the other studies.
