| Summary: | Background - This research is conducted to examine the relationship between population aging
and its effects on health expenditure. The study covers a period of 20 years from 1995 to 2014
and analyzed using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach. The motivation of this
study is to look at the implications of increasing the ageing population to health expenditure
in the context of Malaysia. In addition to the aging population, several other control variables
are also used, namely per capita income, infant mortality rate and urban population. According
to Department of Statistics (DOS), Malaysia is expected to become old countries in 2035.
Therefore, it is estimated that health spending will continue to increase to cover the increasing of this population group.The result of this study indicates the same outcomes of previous studies
which is increasing numbers of ageing population will significantly effect the health expenditure in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand in both long and short run. |
