Healthy wealthy and wise : the relationship between health, employment and earnings in Australia. Does the old adage still apply in Australia today? Are people with better health able to earn more than their peers with poorer health? How big is the gap? This report from the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling (NATSEM) examines how health underpins the employment and earnings of working-age Australians.
The results, perhaps not surprisingly, indicate that "health means wealth" is still the case in Australia today. The two concepts are clearly connected in several ways, "While poor health can disadvantage people in terms of their work and earnings, being out of work and having a low income can also disadvantage people’s health."
