Halk Sağlığı ve İşçi Sağlığı alanında ücret ile sağlık arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılması oldukça yetersizdir. Ücret yerine tercih edilen daha çok gelir olmuştur. Kişinin toplam geliri üzerinden, gelir dilimlerine göre sınıflandırılıp sağlık sorunları ile ilişkisi araştırılmıştır. Bu yazıda daha çok doğrudan ücret ile sağlık sorunları, sağlık sorunlarına yol açma mekanizmaları, ücret ve işci sağlığı sorunları arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen çalışmalar ele alınacak, bu çalışmalara örnekler verilecektir. Mevcut çalışma genel olarak yurt dışı literaturü kullanılarak hazırlanmış, Türkiye ücret ve sağlık ilişkisi çalışmaları ve verileri kullanılmamıştır.
