Abstract
their resources on healthcare.1 This can be seen by looking at healthcare spending as a percentage of economic output and per capita economic output adjusted for purchasing power parity—a measure of economic development. Figure 1 shows the relationship between healthcare spending as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) and economic development of a country, measured by GDP per capita for the year 2019. The x-axis plots output per capita. Because of the large differences in output per capita, it is plotted in logs. Each dot in the figure represents a Can Population Aging Explain Rising Healthcare Spending Across Countries? Siddhartha Sanghi, Associate Economist ECONOMIC Synopses
