The education and health of a country?s citizens are important investments in that country?s human capital. Both education and health are fundamental objectives of the human capital development. Health is the core of welfare and the education is important for the population to reach a satisfying life. My thesis analyzes the empirical effects of education on health in Indonesia. Therefore, the analysis emphasizes two objectives: first, I want to analyze whether the education and income of the people on the Java Islands directly affects life expectancy. Secondly, I want to analyze whether the level of education and income of the people in Indonesia directly affects mortality rates. In this thesis, I used life expectancy index, infant mortality, and adult mortality as proxy for health and both the average years of schooling and educational attainment index as proxy for education. The main empirical result found that the effects of education are statistically significant on health. The effect of years of schooling is negative and statistically significant on both infant mortality rates and adult mortality rates. On life expectancy index, the educational attainment index is positive and statistically significant.
