📄 Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between economic growth, unemployment, and health outcomes in Nigeria. Using Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique, the study found that economic growth has negative and significant relationship with crude death, and have a positive and significant relationship with life expectancy. Unemployment, on the other hand, is significant positive predictor of only crude death, and not that of life expectancy at birth. Given these findings, federal and state government in Nigeria are encouraged to put policies that improve economic performance to increase health outcomes.
