The Relationship Between Income Distribution And Mortality And Its Possible Effects Towards The Gdp Per Capita : In The Case Of Malaysia

The objective of this study is to assess the relationship between income distribution and mortality, which are statistically significant to the GDP per-capita in Malaysia. This study uses the annual time series data of GDP per-capita, Gini Index and mortality from year 1968 to 2010. The methodologie...
