| National health is very important to economic growth,and the discussion on the relationship between the two originates from the study of human capital.In the early years,the focus on human capital was mainly on education and the Labour force,and not enough attention was paid to health.With the development of economy,the level of national health has been improving,and health has become an important symbol of national prosperity and prosperity.Its role in economy has been increasingly prominent,and scholars have paid more and more attention to the role of health in economy.In particular,as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on the world economy,countries are re-examining and judging the relationship between people’s health and economic growth.China has entered a stage of high-quality economic development,and the "Healthy China 2030" plan outline also puts forward the implementation of the strategic theme of "Joint contribution and Shared benefits,health for all".In the critical period of China’s economic upgrading,we should closely follow this strategic theme to further explore the potential of health in economic growth.This has important reference value for solving the problem of population aging,improving the level of human capital and stabilizing the social order.How to achieve economic transformation and upgrading in the "great changes unseen in a century" in China,it is imperative to improve the national health level,and it is of great significance to further clarify the internal mechanism of health on economic growth.On the one hand,health has its important intrinsic value,which is manifested as enabling people to have good physical quality so as to better acquire knowledge and create value.On the other hand,its value is also reflected in the impact of economic growth,education and other dimensions,especially the instrumental value of economic growth,which can not be ignored.This paper takes the health human capital from the perspective of economics as the entry point,and takes 30 provinces,municipalities and autonomous regions as the research object,using the method of literature research,theory and empirical analysis to conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis.Firstly,this paper expounds the relationship between health human capital and economic growth on the theoretical basis,and briefly combs the domestic and foreign research situation.Secondly,the index system of health human capital is selected and top SIS method is adopted to construct a comprehensive health index including physical health,medical treatment and environment.Finally,based on the panel data of 30 provinces,municipalities and autonomous regions from 2005 to 2018,a cobb-Douglas model is used to construct an economic growth model including health human capital,and the relationship between health human capital and economic growth is studied.Through the above theoretical and empirical analysis,the research conclusions are as follows :(1)the index of health human capital is a complex index system containing multiple factors,and there is no unified selection standard,and there are regional differences in the level of health human capital;(2)The optimization of indicators in each dimension of the comprehensive index of health human capital will improve the value of the comprehensive index,and then have a more positive effect on economic growth;(3)health between human capital and economic growth present the obvious move together,spending more on health,the faster the economic growth,when health human capital into economic growth model,human capital present a complementary health human capital and education.(4)There are regional differences in the level of health human capital,and the impact on economic growth is also heterogeneous.According to the empirical analysis,combining with the current outbreak of the new champions league environment and from the actual situation of the national health and economic growth in China,in order to further enhance the level of the national health and promote economic growth,put forward several policy Suggestions:(1)a better measure of health to build a more comprehensive and reasonable health human capital index;(2)Establish the concept of "comprehensive health" and focus on improving the national health level;(3)Promote the development of health industry and enhance the capacity of health services;(4)Increase government investment in medical and health care and improve the medical security system;(5)Ensure the fairness and pertinence of health investment and narrow regional differences.(6)Practice the concept of green development,improve the ecological environment quality and guarantee the living environment quality of citizens. |
