Yaşlanan nüfus ve sağlık harcamaları arasındaki ilişki, son dönemlerde çok sık tartışılır bir konu haline gelmiştir. Bu sebeple bu çalışmada sağlık harcamaları ve yaşlı nüfus oranı arasındaki ilişkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında verisine ulaşılabilen 36 Avrupa ülkesine ait 2000-2014 yılları arası kişi başına düşen sağlık harcaması ve yaşlı nüfus oranı verileri analize dâhil edilmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı kapsamında panel en küçük kareler regresyonundan faydalanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda kişi başı sağlık harcaması ile yaşlı nüfus oranının karşılıklı olarak birbirlerini etkiledikleri ortaya konmuştur. Yaşlı nüfus oranının artması sağlık harcamalarını artırabileceği gibi sağlık hizmetlerinden daha fazla faydalanmak, yani sağlık harcamalarının artması, doğumda beklenen yaşama süresini, dolayısıyla yaşlı nüfus oranını artırabilmektedir.

Investigation of The Relationship Between Elderly Population and Health Expenditure: An Application Based on Panel Data

Öz

The relationship between elderly population and health expenditure has recently become a hot topic. Therefore in this study, the relationship between per capita health expenditure and proportion of elderly population was investigated. The data of the study consisted of 36 European countries’ data between 2000 and 2014. Panel ordinary least squares was used for the purpose of the study. As a result of the study, it was found out that health expenditure per capita and elderly population ratio mutually affected each other. The increase in the elderly population raito may increase health expenditure per capita and taking more advantage of health care services as a result of more health expenditure may also increase the elderly population raito due to the increases in life expectancy at birth.
