Poverty

Chapter 19 in Microeconomics, 2014, pp 431-457 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract As a very first approximation, we could consider the average lifespan of a population to be an indicator of how far it has risen from poverty and economic deprivation. Of course, many things affect how long people can expect to live, such as war, epidemics and natural disasters, but throughout history there has been a rough correlation between longevity and prosperity.
