在当前的文章中，我们研究了年龄追踪改革是否以及如何影响25-75岁人群在健康方面的教育不平等。对过早辍学者的健康后果给予了特别关注。该研究结合了欧洲社会调查（2002-2016）对21个国家的数据和国家队列教育政策信息。此外，采用了“差中之差”设计，充分利用了学校综合改革实施过程中的跨国和跨时间差异。研究结果显示，从统计数据上看，脱轨政策对人们健康的影响非常显著，但影响非常小。也就是说，全面教育使受过高中或大学教育的人的健康状况略有改善，但这些改善是以牺牲受教育程度最低的人的健康为代价的。我们的研究应该鼓励未来的研究进一步探索教育系统对个人健康的制度影响。
In the current article, we examine whether and how reforms in tracking age affect educational inequalities in health among people between the ages of 25-75 years. Particular attention is paid to the health consequences for early school leavers. The study combines data from the European Social Survey (2002-2016) on 21 countries with country-cohort information on education policies. Moreover, a difference-in-difference design is used, which takes advantage of both the cross-national and cross-temporal variability in the implementation of comprehensive schooling reforms. The results reveal statistically significant, but very small effects of de-tracking policies on people's health. That is, comprehensive education leads to slight improvements in health among people who have attained upper secondary or tertiary education, but these improvements are achieved at the expense of the health of those with the lowest levels of education. Our study should encourage future research to further explore the institutional impact of educational systems on the health of individuals.
