An efficient health system increases
individuals’ output through improvements in
physical energy and mental activities. This
study investigates the effect of health
position on industrial productivity in Nigeria
model from 1980 to 2020. Adopting the
Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL), the
results showed that in both short-run and
long-run periods, changes in rates of
mortality, morbidity, literacy and life
expectancy significantly affect the level of
industrial productivity in Nigeria. However,
in the long run, while economic growth and
labour productivity positively affect
industrial productivity, their impact on the
dependent variable was abysmal. The
findings, therefore, suggest that there’s a
need for the government at all levels to
subsidize medical services as well as not only
increase funding for the health sector but
ensure that allocated funds reach the target
population through effective monitoring and
appraising of the operations of the health
sector.
