Summary

Economists have long recognized the positive association between population health and income per capita. Traditionally, this association was viewed as reflective of a causal link from income to health. In recent years, robust evidence has been offered in support of the view that the association also reflects a reverse causal link from population health to income. However, this growing body of research has yet to identify the specific and essential role of women’s health as a driver of economic growth. We believe that there are strong reasons to believe that female-specific health interventions are a sound investment for promoting economic well-being at both individual and population levels. In particular, we focus on vaccination against human papilloma virus (HPV), largely motivated by the substantial cervical cancer burden borne by women in resource-poor countries during what is often the most productive years of their lives.
