Population Health and Foreign Direct Investment: Does Poor Health Signal Poor Government Effectiveness?
Tandon, Ajay | January 2005
Abstract
This paper analyzes the relationship between growth and inequality of factor income in the Philippines, focusing on the role played by the labor market. It proposes a decomposition methodology that explores linkages between growth in income and labor market performance in terms of labor force participation, employment, working hours, and productivity. This paper introduces a methodology that provides a direct linkage between growth, inequality, and labor market characteristics. It provides empirical analysis using both the Family Income and Expenditure Survey and Labor Force Survey, covering the period 1997–2003.
