Answer to Question #139051 in Macroeconomics for John

Question

How do social infrastructures (i.e. Education, healthcare, public space etc.) affect output?

Answer 1

The availability of social infrastructures increases the output while their inadequacy decreases the output. For instance, the availability of accessible and well-equipped healthcare centers guarantee improved community health since patients will not struggle when looking for a healthcare facility for treatment purposes as opposed to lack of enough hospitals. Subsequently, a healthy population is more productive than an unhealthy one, which again increases the output.
