Abstract

Literature documents strong evidence of connections between early life health and later life health and educational outcomes while the outcomes are studied disjointedly. However, the associations between health and educational outcomes in later life warrant those to be studied simultaneously. This article addresses the above concerns by applying the multinomial logit model. Using Young Lives Survey data, results indicate that good health at the average age of 0.5 years increases the probability of good health and poor educational performance by at least 9 per cent and decreases the probability of poor health and good educational performance by at least 6.5 per cent.
