Answer to Question #57665 in Economics for Trish

Question

What is a health economic related issue? I originally suggested that "job insecurity deteriorates health", but was told that this was an economic issue with health and NOT a health economic issue. So what would a health economic issue be?

Answer 1

Health influences directly the amount of active working force on the market.
The greater level of health in the country the more economically active the country is. So that the greater GDP can be expected.
