Factors Affecting Life Expectancy Comparative Study between Thailand and Japan (1990-2015)
Keywords:
life expectancy, thailand, japanAbstract
Life expectancy reflects how long people live. This study examines data from 1995 to 2015 (26 observations) to identify factors that contribute to longer life expectancy. It compares Thailand and Japan, using the same factors for both countries. The three main factors considered are Gross National Income per capita (GNI), Mean Years of Schooling (SCH), and Infant Mortality Rate (INM). The findings reveal that GNI and INM are statistically significant factors for both Thailand and Japan, whereas Years of Schooling is not statistically significant in either country.
