Even when working on projects unrelated to health, the policies and actions of economic institutions have an impact on health in the countries in which their policies are enacted. Macroeconomic activities are strongly correlated with health outcomes; for example, a rise in the health of a country’s population may lead to an increase in economic output, or vise versa (LSHTM (b) 2014). Economic programs that increase wealth, productivity, and/or trade can impact both infectious and…
growth could be applied universally. In his theory, Rostow generalizes the stage of economic growth by focusing more in investment and development of the leading sectors because these sectors play the major role in uphold the overall momentum of economy. In addition, his theory is also based on situation in certain countries especially in Western countries (Ohlin & Gustafsson 1961). These two conditions make this theory probably hard to be applied in every country in the world because it seems…

Countless people are sharing the improvement of living standard in many aspects.

notion is true. China is representative of a deviant case within Comparative Politics; the theory states that as a country progresses economically, policies reform and democracy will follow. While they are often considered one of the worlds leading economy, China remains an authoritarian state. The established linkages between democracy and economic growth have more often than not been in support of the claim that democracy does pose a cost in terms of subsequent reductions in growth rate. There…
