Abstract
Economies with large laborpopulation and labor oriented production face problems of
quality of labor provided. This quality can be divided into two components; one the
skill component and other the health component. The purpose of the paper is to identify
the root causes of low health standards in the working population. The district wise
data of Punjab (Pakistan), revealed that fertility rate, number of hospitals, literacy
rate, and proxy income are the major determinants that can reduce Infant Mortality
Rate, and the time being dummy variable in GMM model indicated the health standard
to be depreciated in 2011 as compared to 2004
