This paper summarises material discussed in greater detail in Le Grand (1986). I am very grateful to Maria Evandrou, Ray Kobs and Fiona Coulter for their indispensable research assistance. Many thanks are also due to Frank Cowell for the use of his inequality analysis package. I have had several helpful comments on earlier versions from A.B. Atkinson (to whom I also owe the quotation that opens the paper) and from the participants at the EEA Congress session. The basic data were provided by the World Health Organisation. I alone, of course, am responsible for the paper's content.
