Lifelong Education and Health Investment: Implications for Life Expectancy, Economic Growth and Public Policy

该项目将使澳大利亚决策者清楚地了解各种政策工具之间的复杂相互作用，其中一方面包括对保健和教育的补贴以及对退休人员和儿童的收入支助，另一方面包括储蓄率、劳动参与率、生产率、生育率、预期寿命和不平等等社会经济结果。这些知识可用于制定政府在保健、教育、退休金和养恤金以及家庭支助等领域的政策。特别是，该项目将使决策者了解卫生系统的私人和公共资金组合可以产生更好的健康和社会结果。

This project will provide Australian policymakers a clear picture of the complex interaction between various policy instruments including subsidies on health and education and income support for retirees and children on the one hand, and socioeconomic outcomes including saving rates, labour participation, productivity, fertility, life expectancy and inequality on the other hand. This knowledge can be used to frame government policies in the areas of health, education, superannuation and pension, and family support. In particular, the project will inform policymakers about the mix of private and public funding of the health system that can produce better health and social outcomes.
