Unlocking the Link: How Information Communication Shapes Life Expectancy and Mortality in Pakistan
The primary goal of this research is to investigate the interaction between information communication technology and health facilities. To achieve this goal, the panel data set is used from 1971 to 2020 from Pakistan's perspective. The study used pooled OLS, fixed effect estimates, and random effect approaches in its analysis. ICT is a broad topic, thus we quantified it using fixed broadband and fixed telephone subscriptions. Similarly, health is assessed using two standard proxies: life expectancy at birth and infant mortality rate.Based on time series data, the study found that information communication technology improved health outcomes significantly. Health and life expectancy will improve as technology progresses, but death rates will fall. As economic technology advances, people connect more and create healthy relationships, improving their health. Information and communication technology improve public health overall.
