ABSTRACT: Positive healthcare outcomes are paramount for
national competiveness, as a nation’s population is among its most valuable
assets. This study examines the relationship between national political
stability and control of corruption, female educational achievements and
national health outcomes. Results show that increases in a nation’s political
stability and control of corruption affect female educational achievement
positively. We also found that improved female educational level is associated
with their presence in top firm and parliament positions. Further analysis
showed that greater female representation in parliament increases national
health standards.
