Utilizing a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including econometric analysis, stakeholder interviews, and case studies, the research identifies key economic, demographic, and policy-related determinants affecting health expenditure. The findings reveal that economic factors such as GDP growth and inflation significantly impact health spending, with higher economic growth correlating with increased expenditure. Demographic shifts, particularly the aging population, drive rising healthcare costs, necessitating strategic adjustments to manage these financial pressures. Policy reforms and funding adjustments also play a crucial role, with their implementation often encountering practical challenges. The study highlights the complexities of aligning policy goals with financial realities and emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to managing health expenditure. By providing insights into the factors shaping health spending, the research offers valuable guidance for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to optimize healthcare financing and address the evolving needs of the French population.
