“…This is so because healthcare expenditures are associated with an increase in health performance and a reduction in the number of infant and neonatal deaths (Jaba et al, 2014 ). Domestic credit has a significant positive effect on life expectancy which conforms with the findings of Alam et al ( 2021 ). It signifies that the level of health performance is enhanced by increasing domestic credit to households in Sub Saharan African countries.…”

“…The level of economic performance indicated by gross domestic product is expected to have a positive influence on the level of health performance if the growth in economic sector is transmitted to more investments in the health sector (Chen et al, 2021 and Kunze, 2014 ; He & Li, 2020 ). Domestic credit employed as an indicator of financial development and employed as a determinant of life expectancy is inspired by the works of Alam et al ( 2021 ).

The study assesses the effect of inclusive education on health performance in 48 Sub Saharan African countries from 2000 to 2020. The study adopted the Driscoll/Kraay technique to address cross-sectional dependence and the GMM strategy to address potential endogeneity. The study employed three indicators of health performance which are the total life expectancy, the female life expectancy and the male life expectancy. Three gender parity index of educational enrolments are employed: primary education, secondary and the tertiary education as indicators of inclusive education. The findings of the study reveal that inclusive education enhances the health situation of individuals in Sub Saharan Africa. The findings further show that the health situation of both the male and the female are improved by inclusive education. The study recommends policymakers in this region to invest more in the education and the health sector so as to enhance the health performance of the citizens.

“…Financial development conveys capital buildup and technological advancement that also lead to the promotion of different types of developments including health facilities. This outcome is aligned with the outcome of Alam et al [ 70 ], and Shafiei et al [ 44 ] as they noted that the financial development ensures improvement in the society which makes better living standard with improved health. But the outcome is contrary to the finding of Wang et al [ 21 ] who advocated the negative influence of financial development on the health of people.…”

Background The outbreak of COVID-19 has alerted governments around the world, including Australia, to think seriously about the health issues. Life expectancy is one of such issues. Therefore, this study tries to reveal the effects of globalization, energy consumption, information and communication technology, financial development, education rate, and economic growth on life expectancy at birth in Australia. Methods Using the data period of 1990–2018, a series of econometric techniques: the Dickey-Fuller generalized least square test, Autoregressive Distributive Lag bounds test, fully modified ordinary least square method and the pairwise Granger causality test, are applied. Results The findings disclose that globalization, renewable energy use, information and communication technology, per capita gross domestic product, education rate, and financial development increased during this period but non-renewable energy use reduced life expectancy at birth. Unidirectional causal associations of the studied variables with life expectancy at birth are also revealed. Conclusions All the outcomes are relevant and useful for articulating an innovative policy in the health sector. The prime policy implication of this work is: the effective, efficient, and inclusive policies considering globalization, renewable and non-renewable energy consumption, information and communication technology, financial development, education rate, and economic growth should be formulated and executed for guaranteeing health status.
