Marxists claim that capitalism is anti social and that it accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking the majority of the population - the accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking class.
The Marxists Doyal and Pennell suggest that it is the profit motive that results in three harmful accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking for the working class.

Industrial accidents/disease
Doyal and Pennell point out that there are over 700 workers killed in industrial accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking each year and that death from accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking directly linked to occupational risk disproportionately hit the working class

Psychological Harm
Doyal and Pennel also point out that capitalism is also bad for the accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking health of the working class. Working class jobs (especially factory work) are accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking, unskilled, performed at high speed with long hours, injurious accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking working expectations and long accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking. The resulting accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking accumulation has a negative effect on working class accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking

Poverty
Capitalists (the accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking of factories and businesses) always try to keep accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking low. This results in accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking for the working class. Several government reports, including the Black Report (1980) and The Health Divide (1987) have highlighted poverty and its accompanying problems of poor accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking, poor diet, and exposure to accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking etc. as the chief cause of the health gap between the classes

Marxist Explanations to Health Inequality by Ethnicity and Gender
Marxists also use social class to explain health inequalities by accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking and gender. Ethnic minority groups are more likely statistically to be in accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking paid occupations due to societal accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking and therefore experience a heightened version of the health accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking faced by the working class generally. Marxists also claim that capitalism favours a family structure which doubly exploits working class accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking. Firstly they are exploited by virtue of being members of the working class, and secondly they are exploited as unpaid accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking work within the home. As a consequence their health accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking. Whilst Marxists acknowledge that racism and sexism plays a part in health inequality they see accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking factors such as social class and the anti social underlying profit motive of capitalism as central to any proper accidentscapitalistconsequencesdiscriminationdiseasesdomesticethnicityexplanationharmshealthhourshousinginfectionlowermentalneedsownerspovertyprofitsrepetitiverisksshiftstressstructuralsufferswageswomenworking..
