abstract: 'BackgroundPoverty vulnerability has been defined as the likelihood of a
|
|
|
|
family falling into poverty in the upcoming months. Inequality is a
|
|
|
|
major cause of poverty vulnerability in developing countries. There is
|
|
|
|
evidence that establishing effective government subsidies and public
|
|
|
|
service mechanisms significantly reduces health poverty vulnerability.
|
|
|
|
One of the ways to study poverty vulnerability is by using empirical
|
|
|
|
data such as income elasticity of demand to perform the analysis. Income
|
|
|
|
elasticity refers to the extent to which changes in consumers'' income
|
|
|
|
affect changes in demand for commodities or public goods. In this work,
|
|
|
|
we assess health poverty vulnerability in rural and urban China. We
|
|
|
|
provide two levels of evidence on the marginal effects of the design and
|
|
|
|
implementation of government subsidies and public mechanisms in reducing
|
|
|
|
health poverty vulnerability, before and after incorporating the income
|
|
|
|
elasticity of demand for health.MethodsMultidimensional physical and
|
|
|
|
mental health poverty indexes, according to the Oxford Poverty \& Human
|
|
|
|
Development Initiative and the Andersen model, were implemented to
|
|
|
|
measure health poverty vulnerability by using the 2018 China Family
|
|
|
|
Panel Survey database (CFPS) as the data source for empirical analysis.
|
|
|
|
The income elasticity of demand for health care was used as the key
|
|
|
|
mediating variable of impact. Our assessment was conducted by a
|
|
|
|
two-level multidimensional logistic regression using STATA16
|
|
|
|
software.ResultsThe first level regression indicates that the marginal
|
|
|
|
utility of public mechanism (PM) in reducing urban and rural
|
|
|
|
vulnerability as expected poverty on physical and mental health
|
|
|
|
(VEP-PH\&MH) was insignificant. On the other hand, government subsidies
|
|
|
|
(GS) policies had a positive suppression effect on VEP-PH\&MH to a
|
|
|
|
relatively low degree. The second level regression found that given the
|
|
|
|
diversity of health needs across individual households, i.e., the income
|
|
|
|
elasticity of demand (HE) for health care products, PM and GS policies
|
|
|
|
have a significant effect in reducing VEP-PH\&MH in rural and urban
|
|
|
|
areas. Our analysis has verified the significant positive impact of
|
|
|
|
enacting accurate GS and PM policies on effectively reducing VEP-PH\&MH
|
|
|
|
in rural as well as urban areas.ConclusionsThis study shows that
|
|
|
|
implementing government subsidies and public mechanisms has a positive
|
|
|
|
marginal effect on reducing VEP-PH\&MH. Meanwhile, there are individual
|
|
|
|
variations in health demands, urban-rural disparities, and regional
|
|
|
|
disparities in the effects of GS and PM on inhibiting VEP-PH\&MH.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, special consideration needs to be given to the differences in
|
|
|
|
the degree of health needs of individual residents among urban and rural
|
|
|
|
areas and regions with varying economic development. Furthermore,
|
|
|
|
considerations of this approach in the current worldwide scenario are
|
|
|
|
analyzed.'
