Aspects of the subject include:
Other subfields include measuring value of life [ 53] [ 54] and the economics of the elderly[ 55] [ 56] [ 57] and the handicapped[ 58] [ 59] [ 60] and of gender,[ 61] [ 62] [ 63] race, minorities, and non-labor discrimination.[ 64] [ 65] In coverage and subfields, it complements labor economics [ 66] [ 67] and implicates a variety of other economics subjects.[ 68] [ 69] [ 70]
