Measuring health as a component of living standards
Ho, T. | DRC
There is a close interactive relationship between health and the level of income; the higher income level affords an individual access to better health. However, in many countries health inputs are provided free or at minimal cost through the public sector and availability and access to health services may not be related to differences in income. This paper discusses measures of health status for use in a survey whose objective is to measure and compare levels of living among different population groups. It also attempts to discuss the relationship between health and other components of the standard of living and will suggest means by which such relationships can be analyzed and interpreted for the eventual determination of policies to improve health status and related components of living standards.
