ECONOMY AND HEALTH LOGIC MODEL
(SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 -CMOS)
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND HEALTH
Economic development is a process in which an economy grows and becomes more advanced, especially when both economic and social conditions, thus living
standards, are improvedi. ‘Improved living standards’ refers to higher levels of education, literacy and earned income; better health and well-being; and longer
lifespans. Ultimately, it’s a process of improving the quality of life of a communityii. Economic development encompasses both growth and welfare economicsiii.
There’s an intricate relationship between economic development and health. One on hand, health and well-being can be outcomes of economic development.
People with higher average incomes tend to live longer and experience fewer years of disability; while lower income and greater poverty are strongly associated
with higher mortality rates. On the other, health can be a key determinant of economic development and poverty reduction. People with poor health have reduced
ability to participate in the paid labor force and reduced productivity while at work. In brief, our health and our economy are mutually dependent.
How we develop our industries and business shapes the health and prosperity of our county and region. Economic diversification and investments in both places
and people can fuel growth. However, not all economic growth benefits everyone equally. For all to enjoy wealth, health and an improved living standard, growth
must be done inclusively and investments targeted equitably. Many “inclusive growth and infrastructure investment” strategies and policies identified below aim to
spur growth in distressed places, lift the vulnerable populations out of poverty, and raise the living standards for everyone. Not until growth occurs inclusively,
health disparities between the “haves” and the “have-nots” will continue to exist.
