Summary and Policy Discussion
Since human capital is the main driver of productivity and growth in knowledge-based economies, health should also matter for economic outcomes. In the context of rapid population ageing, the contribution of health for human capital and hence for growth potential could become even more important. This chapter tackles these issues by offering an integrated view of the relationships between, health spending, medical innovation, health status, growth, and welfare.
Keywords: ageing, productivity, life expectancy, health status, welfare, growth, knowledge-based economies
