Basic Food and Health Security: A Cross Country Look

Author

  • William R. DiPietro

Abstract

This paper uses cross country regression analysis to see whether the level of economic development and the extent of democracy are prime determinants of basic food, health, and general social security. It also considers whether the size of government and globalization matter, and, if so, whether positively or negatively, for the fundamental security needs of people. The findings of the paper indicate that both development and democracy are positive forces for the fulfillment of basic human security needs.
