The percentage of poor and absolute poor people has decreased worldwide, with the exception of some Sub-Saharan African countries, including Zambia. In those countries, also life expectancy has decreased, because of AIDS. In this short note I argue that it is inappropriate to ignore AIDS epidemics when evaluating the effects of globalization on life expectancy, as some authors have done recently.

Abstract
The percentage of poor and absolute poor people has decreased worldwide, with the exception of some Sub-Saharan African countries, including Zambia. In those countries, also life expectancy has decreased, because of AIDS. In this short note I argue that it is inappropriate to ignore AIDS epidemics when evaluating the effects of globalization on life expectancy, as some authors have done recently.File in questo prodotto:
