Four main mechanisms of health affecting economic prosperity

1. Healthy people can work longer hours, and their physical, mental and cognitive abilities are richer and stronger, which directly improves the labor productivity of families and markets and promotes economic prosperity.

2. Healthy people can live longer and have more motivation to invest in their education.

3. Longer life expectancy urges individuals to save in the production stage, which reserves more monetary capital for economic investment, thus further promoting income growth and economic prosperity.

4. A healthier population means a lower death rate, which reduces the demand for a large number of family voices, leading to a lower population growth rate and an increase in the average age of people.
