结论 |
- Countries with greater social expenditure have better health outcomes, even when this is tested in many different ways.
- Public social expenditure by governments seems to have a particularly strong relationship with health outcomes.
- Some areas of social expenditure, such as old-age spending, appear more strongly positively related to better health outcomes than others. In addition, the strength (and at times direction) of the relationship with better health outcomes varies depending on the area of social expenditure (e.g. unemployment, family programmes etc.).
- Better health outcomes seem to be even more evident when time lags between health outcomes and when the social expenditure occurs are incorporated in the analysis -- perhaps because social expenditure can take time to translate into better health outcomes. We tested time lags of various lengths and found that the associations get somewhat stronger with lags greater than seven years.
- Countries with higher levels of trust in others tend to have both higher levels of social spending and better health outcomes.
- Higher inequality is associated with an even stronger association between social spending and health outcomes. In other words, social protection may be more important for health outcomes in more unequal societies.
- There is also a strong positive relationship between social expenditure and health outcomes across US states. As with our cross-national analysis, the associations differed depending on the type of expenditure, with the strongest results for unemployment and income maintenance payments.

摘要 |
- As next steps, we suggest broadening of the analysis to include further contextual factors that may affect the relationship between social spending and health outcomes.
- In addition, we suggest deepening of the analysis to explore the pathways and mechanisms from social spending to health outcomes and the role of social programme's design and implementation.
