This chapter affirms that countries with enviable indicators in development, per capita income, life expectancy, cultural level, human rights, environmental care, etc. are the most affected by the pandemic. The fact that the UK, Belgium, and Spain are failing at the hands of the coronavirus and Syria, Rwanda, or Ethiopia have had hardly any (reported) infections or deaths can be justified in many ways but none of them is convincing. The author suggests that the reason could be that those three European countries have something in common: the shared frequency of the male haplogroup R1b, which in the three aforementioned cases represents over 60% of their population and is also predominant in Western Europe and (because of historical immigration) in most of America. If we put together the map of COVID-19 and the haplogroup R1b, he concludes, we can obtain the following formula: the higher the frequency of R1b, the greater incidence, proven or probable (real or potential), of COVID-19.

The degree of public health can be measured by looking at the amount of Life Expectancy (AHH). AHH is the result of calculating projections often used as one of the People's Welfare Indicators (IKR). Assuming a declining trend in infant mortality rates (IMR) and changes in the population's age composition, the objectives in this study are: 1) to analyze the effect of income per capita, government spending in education, and health simultaneously affect life expectancy in Bali Province / City in the 2011-2017 period and 2) to analyze the effect of per capita income, government spending the education and health sector influences the life expectancy in the Regency / City of Bali Province in the 2011-2017 period. The data used in this study is secondary data in 2011-2017. This study uses Multiple Linear Regression analysis techniques used to process classical assumption test data using Eviews 9. The results of this study stated that the variable income per capita (X1), government expenditure in education (X2), and government expenditure in health (X3) simultaneously affected the life expectancy (Y) in districts/cities in Bali Province. Partially per capita income has a positive and significant impact on life expectancy. Government expenditure in education and government expenditure in health does not affect life expectancy in Bali Province districts/cities.

This paper reviews the growing body of evidence on the relative economic standing of different regions of the world in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In general, it does not find support for Euro-centric claims regarding Western Europe’s early economic lead. The Eurocentric claims are based primarily on estimates of per capita income, which are plagued by conceptual problems, make demands on historical data that are generally unavailable, and use questionable assumptions to reconstruct early per capita income. A careful examination of these conjectural estimates of per capita income, however, does not support claims that Western Europe had a substantial lead over the rest of the world at the beginning of the nineteenth century. An examination of several alternative indices of living standards in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth centuries—such as real wages, labor productivity in agriculture, and urbanization—also fails to confirm claims of European superiority. In addition, this paper examines the progress of global disparities—including the presence of regional patterns—using estimates of per capita income.

The Swiss per-capita income may further increase up to the year 2050. In addition to this materialistic prosperity, further indicators for prosperity are expected to improve significantly, such as life expectancy and a decreasing rate of infant mortality. New products and services will come on the market at reasonable prices. Overall, there are few reasons to assume that the current trend of recorded increase in prosperity will suddenly stop; however, there will be changes in the sectoral composition of employment and value creation. The forest services will remain a niche business. The importance of the forest, however, will increase – not due to timber production but due to the increasing need for recreation.
