Statistical analysis of primary health conditions of lower income population

Abstract

Health has always played a crucial role in the development of human capital. It is a causative factor for the overall personal growth of an individual and helps in realizing human capabilities. Alongside other systems of social protection, proper health systems foster cohesive societies and contribute to well-being. Good health improves the overall quality of life by causing a reduction in the risk factors for medical diseases. Different organizations make different policies focused on the improvement of health conditions. In India, The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare works towards welfare & health related matters. While making a policy if we divide the entire population into groups based upon income slabs it will provide us a structure while making schemes. The primary objective is to statistically analyze the primary health conditions of the low income group using a survey that has been done for 433 respondents. In order to check the dependence of the relationship, Pearson’s chi-squared test (χ2) is carried out. The paper explains the causes for the prevailing primary health conditions with special reference to the capital state of Delhi.
