Employment Status Impact of Households for Catastrophic Health Expenditures in Pakistan

Abstract

The study examines the domestic health expenditure pattern in Pakistan for the year 2018-19. It investigates the determinants who affect domestic expenses on various health related conditions. Estimates of estimates indicate that disastrous health expenses vary greatly in homes depending on many factors, such as the type of disease, provincial location and employment status of members of the household. Additionally, the level of rising income is positively associated with an increase in health expenses. These factors collectively contribute to difficulties in domestic health expenses, either up or down. The analysis further states that effective policy recommendations for health financing should take into account these impressive factors, as they have significant implications for public health results in Pakistan. Each variable plays a different role in explaining how the government can allocate resources within the health sector. To estimate these relationships; the regression analysis was employed using the simple least sections (OLS) method suitable for models with a quantitative dependent variable. The insight obtained from this analysis provides a foundation to formulate targeted health policies that address the economic burden faced by families and improve the overall efficiency of health expenditure.
