Impact of Government Health Expenditure, Energy Use and Ecological Foot Prints Consumption on Life Expectancy: An Analysis from Developing Countries

Healthcare expenditures are one of the most important rudiments of life expectancy, and research has concluded that a positive association exists between life expectancy and healthcare. Considering this, we have focused on how immunization, government health expenditures, economic growth, and energy consumption may enhance the life expectancy of some selected developing economies. The data was analyzed from 2005 to 2020 in nine developing Asian economies. Life expectancy at birth was used as the dependent variable. The authors used the fixed effect technique to analyze how life expectancy was affected by these factors. Findings indicate that immunization, economic growth, and energy consumption have enhanced life expectancy. Moreover, consumption of an ecological footprint has decreased life expectancy at birth in Asian economies. Findings suggest more allocation and proper utilization of health expenditure in the concerned economies. Proper energy usage for more production should exist, which may not affect the environment. Finally, the Government must provide medical facilities to increase the life expectancy.
