This research is conducted to investigate the effects of FDI, Government Expenditures on Population health and economic growth in Pakistan. This study inspects and provides a summary of the theoretical and empirical research conducted on the topic. First, it provides a thorough analysis of how government spending, unemployment, poverty, and foreign direct investment (FDI) affect Pakistan's population health and economic growth. Second, it integrates theoretical and empirical findings from published sources to acknowledge the body of literature already in existence. Additionally, this article also sheds light on the theoretical foundations that support the mechanics and justifications of various approaches. Thirdly, this paper suggests directions for future study that might be productive. Through a critical study and synthesis of current theories and studies, this paper advances our understanding of the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) and government spending on population health and economic growth.
