The Relation Between Education Level And Health Condition

China has made great achievements in economic development over the past three decades since the reform and opening-up. Because people's living standard has been improved greatly, people now pay more attention to health, and that is the foundation of human development and the very concern of health Economics. But when it comes to investment in health, improving health level, people naturally tend to increase investment in health facilities.This thought leads to China's continuing increase in health expenditure. In 1978, total health expenditure accounted for 3.02% of China's GDP, just 11.021 billion RMB, 11.5 RMB per capita on health expenditure and in 2008, the total cost of the National Health is 1.2218 trillion RMB,915 RMB per capita on health expenditure. But historical experiences show that health care facilities and the system are comparatively backward, and material living conditions are relatively poor in developing countries where to increase investment in the health sector will improve the health status of their inhabitants and get more visible results.But when they continuiosly increase medical investment, the marginal benefit would decreases. A lot of empirical studies of health economist have shown that the influence of the non-medical factors on health production continuously rise, such as physical strength and intelligence, parental characteristics, social background, psychological factors, endowments, life habits and so on. In the non-medical health factors, the connection between education and health is most close and significant. Thus, the study of the relationship between health and education has important theoretical significance to the increase of the health of China's population in policy advices.In this paper, our focus is the study of health capital, the interaction mechanism s of health capital and education. The innovations of this paper are mainly reflected in the following aspects:First, this paper is based on the health capital. Around this core idea, we distinguish the broad social health capital and the health capital, build a dynamic model to describe the dynamic relationship between the broad social health capital and the economic growth and education, and analyze the interaction mechanism of education, economic growth and social health capital. Subject to the different economies of scale, the article studies interaction mechanisms of economic growth and social health capital, and analyzes the formation of inverted U-curve under different conditions, and thus provides research ideas for the study of the impact of capital on economic growth. Second, from the perspective of the health capital, we explore the relationship between the value of life and the health of capital, education.Through the indefinite families utility the paper explores the effectiveness of health care inputs, particularly in medical and health research and education promoting the health of the community capital, thereby prolonging a person's life expectancy. We can also estimate the value form extension of human life to society in order to provide a theoretical basis and policy recommendations in investing medical research and health education. Third, we use the China Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data (China Health and Nutrition Survey, CHNS), and self-rated health (self-rated health or perceived health) as indicators of health, build self-selection bias econometric model including OLS, IV, WLS in order to study education and other factors on health effects under the disparities of gender and regional, and provide empirical basis for developing national education and health policy.This article is divided into four parts:the first part chapter I, the second part Chapter II to Chapter III, the third part Chapterâ…£to Chapter V, the fourth part Chapter VI.The first part is an introduction, which is mainly a brief overview of the real background on the relationship between education and health, gives a preliminary generalization to the research ideas, contents and methods. Finally, this part describes the structure of the whole paper, research methods and innovations.The second part is about the basic literatures on health economics and theoretical overview and Chinese education and health situation analysis. In the second chapter, first we look back to the generation of health economics, introduce the definition of health economics and its historical evolution, and meantime highlight the reality and theory background. Next, we introduce the main research content of health economics. First of all, we analyze health care services from micro-economics supply and demand. Secondly, from the macro point, we examine the balance of supply and demand in healthcare market, the structure of health care services industry, incentive mechanism on the efficiency of the health service u, allocation of resources, and health care efficiency and fairness under different industrial structure.Finally, based on the health care market that is not perfectly competitive market, we study the government function and submit policy recommendations. Mainly conditioned on statistical data analysis of China's education and health status, we introduce the development of China's education history, general education and special education, descript and analyze the development of Chinese health course from various aspects.The third part is the core of this article. The fourth chapter divides the health capital into broad social health capital and narrow health capital, and constructs two kinds of dynamic models on this basis. After the analysis of the parameters, we got some meaningful policy propositions and conclusions. In chapter V, this article's focus transfers to empirical data analysis from the theoretical study, builds self-selection bias model, uses the OLS, IV, WLS three methods, China Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data (China Health and Nutrition Survey, CHNS), and self-rated health (self-rated health or perceived health) as an indicators of health, and examines the impact of education and other factors on health effects under gender and regional disparities, so as to provide factual basis for developing national education and health policy. In chapter VI, on the theoretical and empirical basis, we put forward China's policy re commendations on the health and education...
