Other subfields include measuring value of life[52][53] and the economics of the elderly[54][55][56] and the handicapped[57][58][59] and of gender,[60][61][62] race, minorities, and non-labor discrimination.[63][64] In coverage and subfields, it complements labor economics[65][66] and implicates a variety of other economics subjects.[67][68][69]
