摘要
通过比较分析我国不同地区人口老龄化程度与医疗卫生费用之间的关系,发现随着人口老龄化程度的提升,医疗卫生费用占用社会经济资源的比重并不一定上升;只要经济增长能够持续,人口老龄化程度对医疗卫生费用的压力并不可怕,可怕的是经济增长赶不上人口老龄化对医疗卫生费用的需求。在老龄化进程中,发达地区医疗卫生费用的投入效率比中等发达地区和欠发达地区高,但发达地区面临更大的环境质量对居民健康水平所造成负面影响的压力。欠发达地区医疗卫生费用占GDP的比重比发达地区和中等发达地区高,但居民的健康水平却低于这两类地区,因此在人口老龄化进程中,欠发达地区应更加注重提高医疗卫生投入的效率问题。
This paper compares and analyzes the relationship between the population aging and health care costs in different regions of China. The results showed that, with the acceleration of the process of population aging, the proportion of health care costs taking up social and economic resources does not necessarily rise, and as long as the economic growth continues, the pressure of population aging on health care costs is not terrible,the horrible thing is that economic growth cannot meet the needs of population aging on health care costs. The same time, this study also showed that in the aging process, the efficiency of the developed areas of health care costs of inputs is higher than the middle- income areas and less developed regions. But in developed areas, the negative impact of the environment on the level of the health of residents is greater. The less proportion of the developed areas of health care expenses as a percentage of GDP than the developed areas and moderately developed areas, but the level of the health of residents is lower than these two types of regions, in the process of population aging, less developed areas should be more focus on improving the efficiency of health investment.
