Life expectancy is one of the primary population health indicators and in turn increases in life expectancy indicate improvements in population health and human welfare. Therefore, one of the ultimate goals of the countries is to increase the life expectancy. This article studies the effect of education and income inequalities, ICT indicators, CO emissions, and real GDP on life expectancy in the new EU members for the period of 2010-2022 by employing fixed effects regression. The coefficients of panel regression uncover that education and income inequalities and CO emissions negatively impact life expectancy, but ICT indicators of internet usage and mobile cellular subscriptions and real GDP positively affects the life expectancy. The findings of the panel regression analysis indicate that public policies to decrease the inequalities in education and income will make a contribution to life expectancy.
预期寿命是主要的人口健康指标之一,而预期寿命的延长则表明人口健康和人类福利得到了改善。因此,各国的最终目标之一是延长预期寿命。本文通过固定效应回归研究了 2010-2022 年期间新欧盟成员国教育和收入不平等、信息和通信技术指标、二氧化碳排放和实际国内生产总值对预期寿命的影响。面板回归的系数表明,教育和收入不平等以及二氧化碳排放对预期寿命有负面影响,而互联网使用率和移动蜂窝订阅以及实际国内生产总值的信息和通信技术指标对预期寿命有积极影响。面板回归分析的结果表明,减少教育和收入不平等的公共政策将有助于延长预期寿命。
