8. Objective of study:
• To see the relationship of economic
growth and health.
• To examine the short run and long run
relationship between per capita
income and human capital.
• To see the relationship between per
capita income and human capital

9. Literature Review
• Health is an important indicator of per capita
income and also life expectancy of people.
• Mayer (2001) also uses the probability of adult
survival by gender and age group as a
measure of health status.
• Bloom, et al (2004) by using 2SLS technique
finds that life expectancy and schooling have a
positive and significant effect on GDP.

10. Data and methodology:
• To determine the short run or long impact of
health on economic growth different
variables can be used.
• Two health indicator :-
• Input:
• education expenditure, provision of health
facilities, medical center and equal provision
of health facilities in economy.
• Output:
• life expectancy, Infant mortality rate and
Adult survival rate.

11. Theoretical data:
• Y=f(K,H,E,Z)
• Health human capital (H)
• Human capital (E).
• Per capita income (Y)
• physical capital (K)
• Vector of other variables (Z)

12. Conclusion
•Analyse the short run and long run dynamic of health
human capital on economic growth.
•Age dependency, population per head, secondary school
enrolment, life expectancy, mortality rate are affecting
per capita GDP but health expenditure have no
relationship with per capita GDP
•Health indicators have a significant role in determining
the long run economic growth. there is no relationship
between health variables and economic growth in short
run.
•There is also need for a study on the role of private and
public health care facilities in improving the health
human capital.
