Ordered Probit Model Analysis of Health Status of Unorganised Industrial Workers in Tamilnadu

Abstract

Enhancing the quality of growth is an important objective of the development paradigm in many developing countries. Better health, education, equal and wider job opportunities to all, trustworthy and transparent people’s institutions, sustainable and cleaner environment, dignity, self-esteem and life security, among others, are key manifestations of the quality of growth (World Bank, 2000). If the quality of human capital is not good, physical capital and natural resources can’t be properly utilised and growth neither be sustained nor be qualitative. Health is major segment of human capital.
