The finding that greatdifferences in the income among different social groups in conditions of the liberal market society correlate withseveral health and social problems brought about to the hypothesis that the decrease of the differences in the income,accompanied by strengthening of various forms of the social cohesion, civic solidarity, legitimate egality, and ethicaljustice may substantially improve the health status of the population.

Analytics of theWorld Bank recommend to governments primary invest into the health of socially week groups in order to decreasetheir poverty and to keep social conciliation.

Both goals should be achieved by a substantialimprovement of the health status of the ill-adapted social groups and by significant improvement of thosesocioeconomical conditions which may have adverse effects namely on the differences in incomes, education andopportunities for employment.
