            <title>Fiscal Decentralisation, Chinese Style: Good for Health Outcomes?</title>
            <link>http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/61/26/39800742.pdf</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Improving access to affordable health care is one of the main challenges facing policy makers in developing countries, and China is no exception. The Chinese government has introduced various institutional innovations - most recently the “new rural type co-operative medical care” - while reforming the administration and governance of social programmes and investment. This case study clearly emphasises the need for more internal policy coherence to achieve self-proclaimed targets.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[When setting spending priorities in education and health, countries all too often target expensive schemes which can be shown only to benefit specific sections of the population, often the non-poor. The building of certain urban hospitals and universities may fall into this category.]]></description>

            <title>The Impact of Education on Fertility and Child Mortality: Do Fathers Really Matter Less than ...</title>
            <link>http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/59/24/2503611.pdf</link>
            <description><![CDATA[This paper takes advantage of a massive school construction program that took place in Indonesia between 1973 and 1978 to estimate the effect of education on fertility and child mortality. Time and region varying exposure to the school construction program generates instrumental variables for the average education in the household, and the difference in education between husband and wife. We show that female education is a stronger determinant of age at marriage and early fertility than male education. However, female and male education seem equally important factors in reducing child mortality. We suggest that the OLS estimate of the differential effect of women's and men's education may be biased by failure to take in to account assortative matching.]]></description>

            <link>http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/58/22/36654714.pdf</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Decentralising health services – the transfer of power and responsibility from the central to the local level –
should help the poor if local resources, accountability and governance are in good shape.  The process in China and India had negative effects because local governments remained under-funded and health was not seen as their priority. Contrary to this, decentralisation in Indonesia and the Philippines produced better health outcomes because they reformed healthcare funding. This is key to successful pro-poor decentralisation.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Health has emerged as a key area of development as donors increasingly recognise the link between poor health and poverty. This has been most apparent in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Setting the right priority is still crucial in situations where available resources fall far short of actual health needs.]]></description>

            <title>Private Health Insurance for the Poor in Developing Countries?</title>
            <link>http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/25/14/35274754.pdf</link>
            <description><![CDATA[The financing of health care is a major challenge for developing countries, especially since deficiencies in national health systems specifically harm the poor. Innovative financing mechanisms, such as private health insurance, offer benefits and risks. Their implementation requires caution on the part of policy makers who need to consider adequate regulation in order to optimise health outcomes.
