Health Capital and Sustainable Socioeconomic Development

Ill health hampers a country's social and economic development by triggering a vicious cycle of unsustainable resource use. Given the recent outbreaks of worldwide calamities such as famine and natural disasters, international attention has increasingly focused upon disease detection, prevention, and treatment. Serving an unmet need in the marketplace, this text highlights mounting evidence of the relationship between human capital and socioeconomic development and poses management strategies from international and interdisciplinary sources. Scholars and practitioners in the health and sustainable development fields address such issues as healthcare and education, funding for healthcare services, and the impact of legal and political policies on healthcare needs.
