The world contains 1.3 billion desperately poor people who subsist on less than one U.S. dollar per person per day, and another 1.7 billion who live on between one and two U.S. dollars per person per day. With such low incomes, they are unable to attain a minimal standard of living, as gauged by access to adequate food, clothing, shelter, clean water, sanitation facilities, education, and health services. The world’s billions of poor live on the “margin of life” – their material well-being, their happiness, and even, in the most severe cases, their very existence hanging in the balance

This study aimed to evaluate the association of financial development and economic growth by considering the case of 10 Asian countries. The study used quantitative research design where the preliminary testing was conducted using descriptive statistics and unit root testing. The sample size comprised of 10 emerging Asian countries (India, China, Malaysia, Philippines, Pakistan, Thailand, Singapore, Bhutan, Vietnam, and Bangladesh) and the time-frame for the study was 1990 to 2018. The main techniques of analysis were Pedroni cointegration, dynamic panel least squares (DOLS) and Granger Causality. This study concluded that long-run equilibrium existed between financial development and economic growth. The research was limited to the case of Asian countries, therefore, in future, the evaluation of European countries can be conducted or African region can also be undertaken into consideration.

This research studies the role of human capital investment through the mechanism of improving education and health services in efforts to alleviate poverty and increase economic independence with dignity in the form of improving the performance of Indonesia's human resources which is reflected in Indonesia's economic growth. This study uses secondary data from world banks and processed regression using the moving average autoregression method. We find that investment in education and investment in health is positively related to economic growth. And, poverty is negatively related to economic growth. This indicates that human capital investment in Indonesia is able to promote economic growth and alleviate poverty in Indonesia.

This empirical study examines the determinant of economic growth among Asia Pacific countries. While many other studies focused on specific economies with particular determinants identified from previous studies, this study expands the boundaries of countries to examine different factors that are expected to affect the economic growth in Asia Pacific countries. Estimation results of this study are based on the analysis of a panel data for the period 1994–2011. The impact of total population, industry share of GNI, interest rate, gross fixed capital formation, and tax rate are statistically examined to be strongly significant for the whole sample. In the case of government expenditure and trade openness, they are examined to be significant to some degree. Finally, though human capital is expected to be the main driver of economic growth, the result from correlation analysis revealed that there is a high correlation between expenditure on education and health. To show the impact of human capital on economic growth in Asia Pacific countries, estimation with years of schooling may enhance the study instead of using expenditure on education and health.

<p class="Default">Tenaga kesehatan banyak mendapatkan sorotan dari masyarakat, karena kesehatan merupakan kebutuhan pokok manusia dan kualitas sumber daya manusia (SDM) ditentukan dua faktor yang saling berhubungan yakni pendidikan dan kesehatan. Kesehatan merupakan prasyarat utama agar upaya pendidikan berhasil, sebaliknya pendidikan yang diperoleh akan sangat mendukung tercapainya peningkatan status kesehatan seseorang. Sorotan masyarakat terhadap profesi tenaga kesehatan merupakan suatu kewajaran karena pelayanan kesehatan merupakan kebutuhan yang tidak bisa ditunda dan diabaikan.</p><p class="Default">Profesionalitas profesi kesehatan menjadi harga mati yang tidak boleh ditawar oleh siapapun, karena berhubungan dengan kebutuhan pokok manusia. Tenaga kesehatan terutama perawat dan  bidan sebagai profesi mempunyai tanggung jawab pokok pelayanan kesehatan. Perawat dan bidan  bertanggung jawab dalam bidang kesehatan secara preventif dan  harus mampu menangani berbagai macam pelayanan kesehatan bahkan pelayanan yang memerlukan tindakan darurat, dan melakukan rujukan yang cepat dan tepat.</p><p class="Default">Sebagai Subjek hukum keperanan perawat wajib dilindungi secara hukum. Perlindungan tersebut diperlukan manakala penanganan pertama yang dilakukan perawat dan bidan tidak dapat menyelamat nyawa seseorang dan kemudian ada kekecewaan dalam diri keluarga sang pasien terhadap tindakan bidan atau perawat tersebut. </p><p>Perawat yang mempunyai latar belakang ilmu kesehatan menjadi tujuan masyarakat bilamana ada anggota masyarakat sedang sakit, terlebih lagi jika tidak ada dokter di sekitarnya. Dalam kondisi seseorang sakit tentunya perawat tidak dapat menolak untuk membantu menyembuhkan bahkan menyelamatkan terlebih lagi dalam kondisi gawat bahkan darurat. </p><p>Health workers get a lot of attention from the public, because health is a basic human need and the quality of human resources (HR) determined two interrelated factors of education and health. Health is a major prerequisite for educational efforts to succeed, otherwise education will greatly support the achievement of improving one's health status. The public's spotlight on the health professional profession is a fairness because health care is a necessity that can not be postponed and ignored.</p><p>Professionalism of the health profession becomes a fixed price that no one can bargain for, because it deals with human needs. Health workers, especially nurses and midwives as professions have primary responsibility for health services. Nurses and midwives are in charge of health in a preventive manner and should be able to handle a wide range of health services and even services that require emergency measures, and make quick and precise referrals.</p><p>As the subject of nurses' law of nurses shall be protected by law. Such protection is necessary when the first handling of the nurse and midwife can not save a person's life and then there is disappointment in the patient's family for the actions of the midwife or nurse.</p><p>Nurses who have a health science background become a community goal when there are members of the community are sick, especially if there is no doctor around. In the condition of someone sick of course nurses can not refuse to help heal even rescue even more in emergency conditions even emergency.</p>
