Opis

Murtin examines the long-term causes of health improvements over the last two centuries. Focusing on the relative importance of income and education, Murtin finds that education alone accounts for the bulk of health improvements since 1870. This finding confirms that income per se is a poor determinant of longevity, and provides an explanation for the strong correlation between longevity and income, which is highly correlated with education. Conversely, the book shows that progress in longevity has had dramatic consequences on societies, as it reduced fertility, triggered the spread of education, spurred economic growth, and improved well-being or 'prosperity' in a way that is comparable to the long-term rise in income. However, a weaker relationship exists between health and economic growth among OECD countries, which reflects an age-specific productivity effect of health. As of 1960, a large share of the growth of life expectancy at birth can be related to a reduction in mortality at old age, but it is mostly the decrease in the mortality of individuals aged 40 or less that matters for economic growth. Due to the projected slowdown in progress in longevity, it may also be the case that the contribution of longevity to prosperity growth may fall in the future. Health and Prosperity sheds light on the real cost of health systems in the 21st century.
