dc.description.abstractBeyond the usual macroeconomic stability, which is a necessity for economic growth, more focus should be placed on the effects that environmental quality has on infant mortality in sub‑Saharan Africa. Africa has always had the highest rate of infant mortality and the poorest environmental quality in the world. High infant mortality shows that there are unmet human needs and unenforced policies to protect the environment. Therefore, this research examines the impact of environmental quality on infant mortality and how environmental quality and infant mortality also affect economic growth using 15 selected sub‑Saharan African countries for a period of 10 years (2010–2019). The study employed fixed and random effects methods of estimation. The results showed that environmental quality has a significant negative (51.53%) impact on infant mortality and that economic growth also has a negative (45.58%) impact on infant mortality. The study recommends that governments should increase expenditure on health, with more focus on financing infant healthcare, because it also affects economic growth.en
dc.description.abstractObok zwykłej stabilności makroekonomicznej, która jest niezbędna dla wzrostu gospodarczego, elementem, na który należy zwrócić większą uwagę, jest wpływ jakości środowiska na śmiertelność niemowląt w Afryce Subsaharyjskiej. Afryka zawsze miała najwyższy wskaźnik śmiertelności niemowląt i najniższą jakość środowiska na świecie. Wysoka śmiertelność niemowląt pokazuje, że istnieją niezaspokojone potrzeby ludzkie i nieegzekwowana jest polityka ochrony środowiska. W związku z tym w niniejszym badaniu przeanalizowano wpływ jakości środowiska na śmiertelność niemowląt oraz wpływ jakości środowiska i śmiertelności niemowląt na wzrost gospodarczy na podstawie danych dla 15 wybranych krajów Afryki Subsaharyjskiej z okresu 10 lat (2010–2019). W badaniu zastosowano metody estymacji: efektów stałych i efektów losowych. Wyniki badania wykazały, że jakość środowiska ma znaczący negatywny wpływ (51,53%) na śmiertelność niemowląt. Wzrost gospodarczy ma również negatywny wpływ (45,58%) na śmiertelność niemowląt. Z opracowania wynika zalecenie, aby rządy zwiększyły wydatki na ochronę zdrowia, z większym naciskiem na finansowanie opieki zdrowotnej dla niemowląt, ponieważ wpływa to również na wzrost gospodarczy.pl
