The Impacts of Health on Income of the Poor - An Empirical Analysis Based on Gansu Tibetan Area

摘要

Depending on the survey data in the Tibetan areas of Gansu Province, this survey uses Weighted Least Squares to explore the impact of health on the income of the poor from the micro level. The results of the study indicate that the personal health level of the poverty-stricken population in the Tibetan areas of Gansu has a significant impact on household operating income and employment income. There is a non-linear relationship between the proportion of chronic diseases or disability of the family members and the income. And the proportion has a significant impact on household business income, that is, first promotion and then hindrance. On the contrary, it has a different impact on work income from household operating income, but not significant.
