However, since the economic crisis in the 1990s, North Korean women have been transforming into new subjects of economic activity centering on the market in the process of maintaining their livelihood and seeking economic independence. This study aims to prove the economic value of North Korean women's health capital and provide implications for economic growth through review of existing studies and empirical analysis from the perspective of human capital theory, focusing on women who have been considered for economic growth in North Korea. As a result of analyzing the mediating effect of the female working-age population ratio on the relationship between North Korean female life expectancy and real GDP during 1970-2019, the increase in life expectancy had a significant direct effect to increase the working-age population ratio and real GDP. However, the effect of the increase in the working-age population ratio directly increased real GDP or mediated the relationship between life expectancy and real GDP was not significant. This means that the health of North Korean women is a meaningful capital that has a positive effect on economic growth, but there have been several limitations for the working-age women to have a significant economic growth effect. This suggests that active investment and support from the North Korean authorities should be made to promote women's health for future economic growth, and institutional support is needed for the economic activities of the working-age women.","PeriodicalId":143688,"journal":{"name":"Korean Association of Health and Medical Sociology","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116812016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Demographic factors (elderly population ratio, gender ratio, alcohol consumption rate, smoking rate, subjective health status awareness), socioeconomic factors (ratio of old houses, financial autonomy rate, rate of medical aid beneficiaries) and medical resource factors (number of hospitals/ doctors) were analyzed. \u0000Acute stroke mortality rate in Korea is 12.1 ± 2.2%. The region with the lowest mortality rate is Gyeonggi Province (local government mainly consisting of urban cities) and regions with the highest mortality rates are North Chungcheong Province and South Jeolla. The elderly population is associated with mortality using overall nationwide data. It was also risk factor for stroke mortality in the cities or counties in rural areas. The male-female ratio, alcohol consumption rate, financial autonomy rate, and number of hospitals in the region were also mortality risk factors based on the data of urban cities. \u0000Based on the results from counties, the proportion of elderly population and financial autonomy rate were found to be a significant risk factor for stroke mortality in small towns in rural areas. Regional differences of acute stroke mortality were also found. \u0000Aside from demographic factors (proportion of elderly population), socioeconomic factors (financial autonomy rate) were identified as risk factors for acute stroke mortality. Collectively, it is necessary to build health care policies that address the health inequality at the loco-regional level.","PeriodicalId":143688,"journal":{"name":"Korean Association of Health and Medical Sociology","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123921040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
