“…When it comes to poverty, in most cases, it means daily malnutrition or, even worse, fasting, which threatens human life and health (Bhuyan et al, 2020), as well as the lack of funds for education and basic social services, which lead to a tendency toward a person's isolated lifestyle and social discrimination, etc. (Pascual-Sáez et al, 2019). According to official figures, before 2020, more than 9% of the global population lived below the international poverty line (The World Bank Group, 2021c).…”

This study aims to econometrically assess multidimensional poverty in Russia with regard to the quantitative and qualitative parameters of the population’s life-sustaining activities. Russia’s partial integrated poverty indices were constructed based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative parameters characterizing the possibilities of satisfying needs in the main spheres/sectors of human values. The indicators that affect the poverty level in the country were determined using linear regression models. The available time lag in the regression models enabled us to make a short-term forecast of changes in the poverty level in Russia. The proposed approach to assessing the national poverty level considers monetary indicators related to the level of income of the population, the affordability of services necessary to meet human needs, and the presence of opportunity costs, which imply sacrificing a person's free time to ensure the material wellbeing necessary for life

“…Recently the issue of inequality has garnered attention within academic debates about the state of the world (Polus et al 2021). While research on inequalities has traditionally focused on the income aspect of welfare, there is growing interest in exploring the health aspect as well (Allison and Foster 2004;Brzezinski 2015;Madden 2015;Simões et al 2016;Pascual-Sáez et al 2019;Clarke and Erreygers 2020). However, studies that analyse the relationship between inequalities considering both aspects of welfare remain scarce (Bilger et al 2017;Pascual-Sáez et al 2019).…”

The relationship between health poverty and income poverty in Sub-Saharan African countries: evidence from index correlations

Analysis of the relationship between income and health is increasing in economic research. However, researchers in this area face controversies concerning absolute and relative income hypotheses and criticisms of statistical artefacts. This paper adopted the assumption underlying income-and health-related hypotheses that the distribution of income is correlated with the distribution of health in a society or a region. We used the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty norms to calculate the incidence, intensity, and inequality of 'health poverty' and 'income poverty' across Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries and used time-series econometrics methods to analyse the relationships between the indices. The data were drawn from the World Bank indicators and covered the period from 1990 to 2017. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) cointegration bounds tests highlighted stronger cointegration between health-poverty intensity and income-poverty intensity, as well as between health-poverty inequality and income-poverty inequality. Moreover, the dynamic simulations of the ARDL relationships showed that a one-point shock in incomepoverty intensity or inequality produced small increases in health-poverty intensity and inequality, respectively. The increases were not significant in the short term, but grew significantly over time, with predicted values of approximately 0.17 and 0.02, respectively. Our results highlighted that efforts to reduce population health disparities in the income-and health-poorer populations in a region should focus on both health-and income-promoting policies.

We used an individual regression and panel data regression method to analyze the samples of 60 countries from 2000 to 2016 to study the impact of the economic recession on residents’ out-of-pocket payment willingness for health care. Although we found an increase in the willingness during the economic recession in most countries, we couldn’t find significant evidence of a positive relationship between the economic recession and such willingness. We discovered that the relationship differentiates in different countries, which mainly depends on the differences in the medical systems and degree of economic development. By controlling individual differences in countries, we found that the economic recession inhibited the out-of-pocket payment willingness for health care. Especially after the impact of the financial crisis in 2008, the cumulative effect of the economic recession and the aftershock of financial crisis was discovered, which significantly inhibited residents’ willingness. In addition, we verified that the economic recession inhibited the out-of-pocket payment willingness by reducing employee compensation in specific types of countries.
