?nsani Geli?me Endeksinin Bir Bile?eni Olan Ya?am Beklentisinin Farkl? Gelir Gruplar? Aç?s?ndan Yak?nsamas?

Özet

?nsani Geli?me Endeksi'nin e?it a??rl?kl? üç unsurundan biri olan sa?l?k göstergelerinin bir geli?mi?lik göstergesi olmaktan ç?kt??? sav? 1972-2020 y?llar? aras?ndaki dönem için incelenmi?tir. Çal??man?n ilk a?amas?nda, dünya ülkelerinin yüksek gelirli, orta gelirli (üst ve alt orta) ve dü?ük gelirli olarak s?n?fland?r?lmas? ba?lam?nda ya?am beklentisinin geli?imi betimsel olarak incelenmi?tir. Her bir gruptaki ortalama ya?am beklentisi 1972 y?l?nda 100 olarak al?n?rsa, ya?am beklentisinin en çok dü?ük gelirli ülkelerde (140,9) artt???, bunu orta gelirli (128,6) ve yüksek gelirli ülkelerin (112,8) izledi?i görülebilir. Ayr?ca bu durum birim kök testleri kullan?larak analiz edilmi?tir. Yüksek, orta ve dü?ük gelir gruplar?n?n ortalama ya?am de?erinin en yüksek ya?am de?erini temsil eden Japonya ile ili?kilendirilmesiyle elde edilen seriler düzeyde dura?and?r. Dolay?s?yla dünyada ülkeler aras?nda gelir aç?s?ndan geli?mi?lik fark?n?n giderek derinle?mesi, bir ?raksama mekanizmas?na yol açarken, ortalama ya?am aç?s?ndan geli?mi?lik fark?n?n giderek daralmas?, yani ortalama ya?am aç?s?ndan yak?nsaman?n varl??? dikkat çekmektedir. Sa?l???n yak?nsamas?nda hem insani güdüler hem de bireysel güdüler (son pandemide oldu?u gibi tüm insanl?k kurtulmazsa kimsenin kurtulu?unun mümkün olmayaca??n?n fark?na var?lmas?) etkili olmu?tur.

Convergence of Life Expectancy, a Component of Human Development Index, from the Perspective of Different Income Groups

Abstract

The argument that health indicators, which are one of the three equally weighted elements of the Human Development Index, have ceased to be an indicator of development was examined for the period between 1972 and 2020. In the first stage of the study, the evolution of life expectancy was examined descriptively in the context of the classification of the world's countries as high-income, middle-income (upper and lower middle) and low-income. If the average life expectancy in each group is taken as 100 in 1972, it can be seen that life expectancy has increased most in low-income countries (140.9), followed by middle-income (128.6) and high-income countries (112.8). In addition, this situation was analyzed using unit root tests. The series obtained by relating the average life value of the high-, middle-, and low-income groups to Japan, which represents the highest life value, are stationary at the level. Therefore, it is noteworthy that the development gap between countries in the world in terms of income is gradually deepening, giving rise to a divergence mechanism, while the development gap in terms of average life is gradually narrowing, that is, the existence of convergence in terms of average life. In the convergence of health, both humanistic motives and individual motives (the realization that if all humanity is not saved, as in the last pandemic, no one's salvation will be possible) have been effective.
