Health and Economic Growth: Findings and Policy Implications

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: While human capital is a clear determinant of economic growth, only recently has health`s role in this process become a focus of serious academic inquiry. By marrying the separate fields of health economics and growth theory, this groundbreaking book explores the explicit mechanisms by which a population`s individual and collective health status affects a nation`s economic development and performance. International leaders from both fields have contributed original essays that employ theoretical and empirical perspectives on the relationship between health and economic growth, including the relevant interconnections with investment in education, family planning, and productivity. Each of the book`s five sections deals with a different aspect of this dynamic. These include the channels through which health human capital generates both higher income and individual well-being, the impact of health on long-run development, economic growth, and poverty reduction, the link… [detailed...]

Health and Illness: A Cross-Cultural Encyclopedia

1997 y.
Publisher: ABC-CLIO
Description: To most Westerners, health is strictly a matter of science. Disease, we are convinced, is caused by microorganisms, tumors, and chemical imbalances, and treatment is a simple matter of identifying the specific cause and eliminating it or relieving the symptoms. Case closed. But people in hundreds of other societies around the globe find this Western view narrow and unimaginative. They view health as, for example, a matter of balance between humans and their culture or their larger natural environment. Often they explain disease not as a mechanical failure of the body but as a spiritual disorder or the result of the evil intentions of others. And to the astonishment of Westerners, many of these blatantly unscientific health care systems are quite effective. `Health and Illness: A Cross-Cultural Encyclopedia` introduces readers to a colorful array of traditional and alternative healing systems from around the globe, such as: Aromatherapy, the use of fragrance to… [detailed...]

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The twentieth century saw significant increases in both life expectancy and retirement rates-changes that have had dramatic impacts on nearly every aspect of society and the economy. Forecasting future trends in health and retirement rates, as we must do now, requires investigation of such long-term trends and their causes. To that end, this book draws on new data-an extensive longitudinal survey of Union Army veterans born between 1820 and 1850-to examine the factors that affected health andlabor force participation in nineteenth-century America. Contributors consider the impacts of a variety of conditions-including social class, wealth, occupation, family, and community-on the morbidity and mortality of the group. The papers investigate and address a number of special topics, including the influence of previous exposure to infectious disease, migration, and community factors such as lead in water mains. They also analyze the roles of income, health, and social class in… [detailed...]

Health and Welfare During Industrialization (National Bureau of Economic Research Project Report)

Publisher: —
Description: In this unique anthology, Steckel and Floud coordinate ten essays that bring a new perspective to inquiry about standard of living in modern times. These papers are arranged for international comparison, and they individually examine evidence of health and welfare during and after industrialization in eight countries: the United States, Britain, Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Japan, and Australia. The essays incorporate several indicators of quality of life, especially real per capitaincome and health, but also real wages, education, and inequality. And while the authors use traditional measures of health such as life expectancy and mortality rates, this volume stands alone in its extensive use of new `anthropometric` data--information about height, weight and body mass index that indicates changes in nations` well-being. Consequently, Health and Welfare during Industrialization signals a new direction in economic history, a broader and more thorough… [detailed...]

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A recent study of productivity in the workplace revealed that workers spend on averageA eight percentA of their workday doing nothing. This statistic takes on greater significance when we find that health problems impact employee productivity loss by an even greater percentage.

Contributors cover all the major aspects of this new area of research: approaches to studying the effects of health on productivity, ways for employers to estimate the costs of… [detailed...]

Health and the Rhetoric of Medicine

Description: Assessing rhetorical principles of contemporary health issues Hypochondriacs are vulnerable to media hype, anorexics are susceptible to public scrutiny, and mi­graine sufferers are tainted with the history of the “migraine personality,” maintains rhetoricl theorist Judy Z. Segal. All are influenced by the power of per­suasion. Health and the Rhetoric of Medicine explores per­sistent health conditions that resist conventional medical solutions. Using a range of rhetorical prin­ciples, Segal analyzes how paients and their illnesses are formed within the physician/patient relationship. The intractable problem of a patient’s rejection of a doctor’s advice, says Segal, can be considered a rhe­torical failure—a failure of persuasion. Examining the discourse of edicine through case studies, applications, and analyses, Segal illus­trates how illnesses are described in ways that limitpatients’ choices and satisfaction. She also illuminates psychiatric conditions, infectious diseases, genetic… [detailed...]

Health at Older Ages: The Causes and Consequences of Declining Disability Among the Elderly (National Bureau of Economic Research Conference Report)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Americans are living longer—and staying healthier longer—than ever before. Despite the rapid disappearance of pensions and health care benefits for retirees, older people are healthier and better off than they were twenty years ago. In Health at Older Ages, a distinguished team of economists analyzes the foundations of disability decline, quantifies this phenomenon in economic terms, and proposes what might be done to accelerate future improvements in the health of our most elderly populations. This breakthrough volume argues that educational attainment, high socioeconomic status, an older retirement age, and accessible medical care have improved the health and quality of life of seniors. Along the way, it outlines the economic benefits of disability decline, such as an increased rate of seniors in the workplace, relief for the healthcare system and care-giving families, and reduced medical expenses for the elderly themselves. Health at Older Ages will be an essential… [detailed...]
