Глобальна економіка та її вимоги до соціальної відповідальності підприємств

The article is aimed at studying the essence of the definition of «global economy», as well as the impact of modern transformation processes on the activity of the State and enterprises in the sphere of social protection and social security of workers and population. On the basis of terminological analysis, the essence and characteristics of the global economy as a constantly changing process concerning the unification of countries into a single informational, economic, ecological and social space have been determined. A systematization of positive and negative consequences of globalization in relation to the development of the social sphere of developed countries and developing countries was carried out. It is proved that, under the influence of the negative consequences of globalization, there is a need to form a system of social protection, which is based on the use of social security at the level of the State and at the level of enterprise, in accordance with types and instruments. At the State level, social security is divided into such types as: legal and administrative, economic, ecological, material and energy, and medical, and at the enterprise level as financial, ecological, material and energy, medical, and legal. This distribution allows taking measures for social protection for specific types of social security. A chain has been built to eliminate the impact of negative consequences on the social sphere, namely: the consequences of the impact of the global economy – social consequences – social protection – social responsibility – social partnership. In further research, it is advisable to build a conception of social responsibility management of enterprises, which is aimed at developing and implementing social protection measures, as well as to determine the structure, components and instruments of the mechanism for its implementation.

Social security measures among agricultural workers – A narrative review

Agricultural workers suffer from various health problems which affect them at social, economic, mental, ecological, as well as all physical levels. In India, a vast proportion of agricultural workers are poor and hence they have a financial disadvantage. Catastrophic health expenditure without a mechanism of robust social security measures in place further deteriorates the socioeconomic position of such agricultural workers. Social security measures act as a support system at the time of health-related crisis and hence this article reviews existing social security measures for agricultural workers in India and related barriers to their utilization. The review suggests using awareness protocols that should reach the community, using their own language (for better compliance), and informing them about how to avail of these social security measures. They should be provided with family support to reduce their burden economically and to reduce their excessive stress level. This, in turn, will help to improve their socioeconomic status. The Indian agricultural workers lack general awareness about how social security works, and we lack good digital social equipment as well, which needs intervention and to apply on it. India has many social security schemes for agricultural workers but many of the target beneficiaries do not benefit from them or are excluded from these schemes because of procedural barriers. Hence, the utilization of social security schemes by agricultural workers remains poor. We need to further research into the measures that can be taken to increase this utilization so that agricultural workers can get benefit of the existing social security schemes.

Comprehensive growth of Vietnam after joining WTO

The article is based on secondary data collected from sectors and agencies in the period 2006-2021, and based on the socioeconomic context and growth characteristics of Vietnam to evaluate the comprehensive growth situation of the country. Research results show that Vietnam has achieved remarkable comprehensive growth since its joining the WTO. Specifically, through indicators such as GDP scale, GDP per capita increasing day by day, increasing access to basic infrastructure facilities and services, more opportunities for people to socialize to ensure close equality with economic opportunities through education, health care, health care, stable jobs with increasing wages, people's living standards are increasingly improved through increased income levels and access to basic services such as electricity and clean water. In addition, gender equality and social security work are increasingly being actively promoted by the Government and society. However, besides the already achieved results, comprehensive growth in Vietnam still has certain limitations, in particular gender inequality, income inequality, persisting underemployment, unsustainable poverty reduction work, high income disparity among population groups and between regions, there is still a shortage of jobs and limited resources to implement social security. Therefore, people are not really happy and fair.

Budget Impact Analysis of the Use of Gilteritinib for the Treatment of Patients with Relapsed or Refractory FLT3+ Acute Myeloid Leukaemia in Public Healthcare Institutions in Mexico

INTRODUCTION: More than a third of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) have mutations in the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 gene (FLT3+). Patients with these mutations have a poor prognosis and are at high risk of refractory AML or treatment failure and relapse. In the last few years there have been several advances in treatment options available for relapsed/ refractory (R/R) FLT3+ AML patients, including gilteritinib. Although gilteritinib has demonstrated clinical efficacy in clinical trials, it has higher drug acquisition costs and the economic impact of including it as a new therapy is uncertain. This study aims to estimate the budget impact of the introduction of gilteritinib as an additional AML treatment on the public healthcare system in Mexico. METHODS: The target population (adult AML patients with R/R FLT3+) was calculated assuming an incidence rate of 1/100,000 and 25/100,000 in individuals 18-79 years and 80+ years respectively, 57% of patients would be R/R and 33% FLT3 positive, 2% undergo haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HCST), and 72% have their treatment costs covered by public funding. The cost of current AML treatment (mitoxantrone, etoposide and cytarabine [MEC], and/or fludarabine, cytarabine, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor and idarubicin [FLAG-IDA]) was obtained from the Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers in 2021. Costs were converted to 2022 costs using the Mexican inflation rate, and compared for the following 5 years (assuming 2022 costs remained unchanged), when including gilteritinib as an additional treatment regimen for AML. The budget impact analysis over a 5-year time horizon, included direct drug costs, post-progression treatment costs, resource utilization, HSCT, and grade ≥3 adverse events. All costs were converted to USD (1 USD=20.55 MxP). RESULTS: Based on 2023 population estimates of a total 198 FLT3+ R/R AML patients, the projected consolidated treatment cost per patient is $36,848, $38,041, and $59,621 for MEC, FLAG-IDA and gilteritinib, respectively. When incorporated into a yearly estimate over 5 years, the addition of gilteritinib as a treatment option would result in a spending increase of $109,397 in 2023 rising to $475,761 in 2027. This would be an increase on the public healthcare budget of 0.0024% in 2023 to 0.0105% in 2027. CONCLUSION: Introducing gilteritinib as an orphan drug in Mexico for the treatment of R/R FLT3+ AML would have a minimal impact on the public healthcare budget over the next 5 years.

Implementation of Criminal Liability for Companies That Do Not Fulfill Obligations to Workers in Employment BPJS Guarantee

This study aims to determine and analyze the criminal liability of companies that do not fulfill their obligations to workers in the employment BPJS guarantee. The research method used is sociological juridical research, using a descriptive qualitative research approach and interactive analysis techniques. The results of this study indicate that there are still many companies that neglect to provide fulfillment of workers' obligations in the Employment BPJS guarantee as stipulated in Law No. 24 of 2011 concerning the Social Security Organizing Agency (Law No. 24 of 2011), which protects workers' rights to obtain guarantees for compensation for work accidents. The establishment of the Social Security Organizing Agency (BPJS) is not a new thing in the field of employment, because social security for workers has previously been regulated in Law No. 14 of 1993 concerning Workers' Social Security or better known as Jamsostek. Law No. 40 of 2004 on the National Social Security System was enacted in 2004 with the aim of creating an integrated social security system for all Indonesians, and the social security system was institutionalized in a public legal entity.

Role of MGNREGA in Generating Employment Opportunity in India – A Study of During Covid-19

The foundation of Indian economy is agriculture. To remove unemployment and remove poverty from rural areas government launched various scheme. Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) was established in 2006, as the first step toward employment generation in rural India and provides 100 days work guarantee to Individuals and households under right to work involved in agriculture and seasonal employment in a financial year within the radius of 5 km. It helps in reducing poverty in rural India and raises the economic status of workers. MGNREGA provides employment opportunities to women workers and decreases migration from urban areas to rural areas. The study tries to focus on pre covid and post covid era in employment generation through MGNREGA. The secondary data of last five years is used to perform the study. The finding of the study show decline in employment opportunity in pre-covid and post-covid era but shows increase in during pandemic and also increasing women employment percentage. MGNREGA through its various categories of projects provides autonomy to unskilled workers to choose their preference of work. MGNREGA was reflected as the worlds greatest and striving programme of social security and public works. The data collected through the secondary source by various newspaper articles, mgnrega website and research papers. Maximum numerical data has been collected through MGNREGA website. The analysis shows that there is an increase in employment generation under MGNREGA scheme during covid 19in rural areas and the reason is migrationof rural people from urban areas. The statistics also portrays that there is an continuous increase in the wage rate system under MGNREGA. The main idea of MGNREGA is to scrutinize the reliability and success is of the employment policy. It is really difficult to reflect that any other programme worked well with potential in employment generation for rural people in earning their livelihood

Information System Evaluation for Cervical Cancer Detection Program in Mexican Women

The aim of this study was to evaluate the design and implementation of the Information System for Cervical Cancer Detection Program in Women in the Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers. We performed a retrospective study applying the framework and tools for Performance Routine Information System Management (PRISM). A sample of 38 subjects was interviewed in 13 health facilities. The information system’s evaluation showed an overall performance of 73.7% at the beginning of 2017. The improvement between versions was mainly observed in the quality of the data (64.6% vs 72.5%), while the use of the information was very similar (78.6% vs 78.9%). We concluded that this information system provides good information to follow-up and control of its beneficiary population. However, there is an opportunity to improve health staff training, also new indicators for health outcomes are required.

Social Return on Investment of PT Badak NGL SALIN SWARA Program

In addition, the value of it’s benefit was Rp.31,302,849 with a total investment of Rp.13,437,500.00. The outcome value was dominated by the outcome of the workers Social Security Agency or BPJS Ketenagakerjaan death insurance claims (67%). It shows good program performance because the payback period has been obtained in the same year when the program was carried out

Understanding the gaps between the bilateral regularization of migration and workers’ rights: The case of agricultural migrant workers in Thailand

Abstract ASEAN agricultural workers represent one of the most vulnerable groups of workers regardless of citizenship. While bilateral agreements focus on general migration governance mechanisms, the specifics of agricultural workers’ rights and protections fall outside their scope. Due to the seasonal nature of cross-border agriculture, these are flexible precarious workers readily available to employers in the borderlands that often do not invest in worker health and social security. The Article reveals how foreign migrant agricultural workers with and without work permits continue to fall between the gaps of national labor protection laws, due to both legal structural exclusions as well as the particular vulnerabilities of being noncitizen workers in remote, unsafe workplaces. This Article documents some of the developments during 20172019 in migrant employment in export cash crops. The next challenge for the future is developing mechanisms for bilateralism to lower migration costs, with a commitment to genuinely safe migration, as well as the establishment of long-term equitable working conditions for all migrant workers. The major findings demonstrate how the two main reasons for the discrepancies between the BLA and labor protections have to do with the noninterventionist approach of ASEAN and a series of technical exclusions in Thailand’s labor law and regulation.

The impact of Covid-19 on older workers' employment and Social Security spillovers.

The COVID-19 pandemic represents a major threat to health and economic well-being in the USA, especially for older and disabled workers, and may spill over onto Social Security. We use individual-level from the Current Population Survey, state-level monthly Social Security administrative data on disability benefit applications, and national-level monthly data on Social Security retirement benefit applications to assess the impact of the pandemic on older adults’ employment and benefit claiming. State-level monthly Google Trends data are used as a leading indicator of future claiming in the population. We find that employment for older workers dropped substantially more than would have been predicted prior to the pandemic: employment for 50–61-year-olds was 5.7 pp (8.3 percent) lower, while employment for 62–70-year-olds was 3.9 pp (10.7 percent) lower. We find declines in labor force exit due to disability (4–5 percent), applications for disability insurance (15 percent), the average age of disability program applicants, and Google searches for disability (7 percent). We contrast with prior periods of economic downturn and explore potential mechanisms, finding evidence for both supply- and demand-side explanations.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00148-022-00915-z.

Profile of Renal Transplant Patients Associated with Social Security or Continuous Cash Benefit and Labor Status

Abstract: Chronic kidney disease consists of kidney damage and the progressive and irreversible loss of kidney function. Thus, when the kidneys are no longer able to maintain their functions, it is imperative that the individual access some benefit to facilitate treatment. Thus, the objective of this article was to analyze the social security or welfare and labor situation of the patient transplanted by a renal transplant unit. The research was carried out by means of a questionnaire with patients who attended the specialties outpatient clinic in October and November 2021. The project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Faculdade de Medicina de São José do Rio Preto, Brazil, and the patients who agreed to participate in the research signed the informed consent form, complying with the ethical principles of the National Health Council and the Ethics Code of the Social Worker. For analysis purposes, after data collection, the variables age, gender and education made up the social profile of the interviewees (n = 20) with the distribution of the variables of social security status and work status, associated with the surveyed profile. In the social profile of the group studied, the female gender contrasted with the literature researched. The variation in the frequency detected of patients in social security or welfare assistance status confirms the impossibility of resuming conditions for professional exercise and, unfortunately, although small, it is an expressive portion of patients with no income or away from the labor market.

Клинические аспекты медико-социальной экспертизы при туберкулезе у взрослых

The epidemiological situation with tuberculosis in the Russian Federation in the current socioeconomic conditions continues to be quite tense. In addition to all kinds of introductions from practicing physicians to combat tuberculosis, a significant contribution comes from the activities of administrative bodies aimed at creating and implementing new draft laws on disability related to tuberculosis, including methods of social expertise and safety, various support measures for disabled citizens, and methods of rehabilitation for persons with a disability group assigned. All persons with tuberculosis are guaranteed the right to a medical and social expert evaluation. In connection with the release of the new order, there are actual data, which require attention not only of social security workers, but also of medical personnel. P u r p o s e : to reveal actual aspects of medical and social examination for tuberculosis in adults. Methods.

Who Cares (For Whom)?

The debate about care has intensified in the COVID-19 crisis. A consensus appears to be emerging that care work—mostly provided by women—is not only essential to our societies, but also undervalued, reputationally as well as—for the paid work—regarding its remuneration. As care is essential for the cohesion of societies, there is an urgent need to improve the situation. However, care comes in too many forms for general recommendations for improving the situation to be effective. Its majority in terms of working hours is unpaid, but the paid part of it in health, caring or education, is indispensable for any society built upon a division of labor. Finally, not every activity is work, and not every work is care—thus leisure activities are not necessarily care work. Care can be motivated by a plethora of reasons, and take a diversity of forms. To allow for effective suggestions for improvement to be formulated, we deem it necessary to more systematically distinguish different classes of care (each class of course being an ideal type including a wide range of activities). We suggest doing so by first using the “potential third party” criterion to distinguish work and non-work activities, secondly classify work according to the beneficiaries (which is closely linked to but not the same as organizational characteristics), and thirdly characterize the specific role of care work in these categories. The beneficiaries also reflect the motivation held by agents why care work is undertaken, although rarely any motivation comes in isolation. Starting from the proximate causes, the first class of care is caring for oneself, be it in terms of health care, hygiene, or the self-production of consumer goods, both short and long lived. The second class we suggest is caring for the family (native and chosen family including friends). It again includes caring for their health, but also their household (either the common one, or the one the caretaker is managing for the care receiver). It often includes nursing the elderly, disabled or young children, but can also be a kind of neighborhood support, from joint gardening to mutual help in building or renovating a flat or house. Extending the reach of care even wider, we come to care for the public good, with the community from village or city district to higher levels being the beneficiaries. This includes the volunteers working with environment, development, feminist, trade unions, food banks or belief organizations. Finally, there is a whole range of professional care activities, with the possibility to take over any of the previously mentioned activities if there is a financial benefit to be expected, or one is offered by (government) subsidies. We observe a permanent process of substituting professional, exchange value oriented care work for voluntary, use value based care, and vice versa. This dynamic, in combination with the ongoing changes of technology, social security systems and work organization in the remunerated work sets the framework conditions which will determine the future of care, commercial and societal. However, such trends are no destiny; they can be shaped by political interventions. Whether or not a professional or voluntary approach is preferable, depends on the assessment criteria applied which in turn represent political, ethical and cultural preferences.

Explaining the revival strategies of Indian MSMEs to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 outbreak

Purpose Micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) is the kingpin of Indian economy. It contributes to 48% of India's exports and provides employment to 110 million people. As a result, it is critical to evaluate the obstacles, expose them and find a way to overcome the crisis due to the pandemic. The study aims to analyse the impact of financial and non-financial measures for the revival of MSME and its impact on firm sustainability and future opportunity as perceived by MSME owners/heads during the COVID-19 outbreak.Design/methodology/approachThis study, based on a cross-sectional survey of 197 export-oriented Indian MSMEs, attempts to investigate covid crisis mitigation strategies/measures in the context of the COVID-19 crisis. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) model was applied to check model fit, and structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed for data analysis.FindingsThe results of this study show the financial and non-financial revival measures such as firm revival, marketing training, customer relationship management (CRM), financial incentive and firm support, extending worker social security and financial access and price control positively impact MSMEs' business sustainability and future opportunity as perceived by the respondents that lent good support to the hypothesis.Research limitations/implicationsThe study emphasizes management in association with government and financial institutions to design short-term as well as long-term strategies that may enhance their sustainability in the market. MSMEs are being forced to reassess their business strategy and modify their operating model as a result of the uncertain/unpredictable climate. Many levels of strategy aid in revitalizing the company and providing future possibilities to move forward if the government schemes positively impact the perception of entrepreneurs. Further, the study identifies the immediate measures to tide over the crisis over this sector and then furnishes recommendations for closing the identified gaps in the present understanding.Originality/valueThe impact of COVID-19 on Indian MSMEs and how these MSMEs are dealing with it are highlighted in this paper, which is quite scarce and insufficient to cover the gap. It also provides a comprehensive view of firm sustainability and perceived opportunity among MSMEs.

India's tryst with Modi-fare 2014–19: towards a universalistic welfare regime

PurposeThis paper examines India’s tryst with welfare/dis-fare with a specific focus on Modi Sarkar's (2014–2019) dirigiste style reforms. In the welfare regime research, Esping-Andersen (1990) classified advanced economies into three ideal-types of liberal, conservative-corporatist and social-democratic welfare states by government-led welfare provisions and levels of decommodification. The classical typology discussions include countries such as India which is classified as informal-insecurity regime due to a large informal economy with no social security for workers. Based on theoretical standpoints of the political economy of welfare states, comparative historical institutionalism and critical junctures this article examines Modifare has expanded formal welfare to its citizens.Design/methodology/approachThe article uses crisp-set analysis to examine the social policy developments under Modi's regime in India.FindingsThis paper examines if the centre-right Modi government did bring about a radical departure from UPA I and II lacklustre welfare approach to the more strategic use of welfare reforms as a political weapon on a national scale. It concludes that Modi-fare falls short in being transformatory.Originality/valueThe article is an original contribution to the field of comparative welfare regimes.

From lack of awareness to meticulous action. Strategies toward old-age pension insurance among Polish migrant domestic workers in Germany

A significant proportion of migrant workers around the world have difficult access to social protection, especially long-term benefits such as pensions. Domestic care workers are a particularly vulnerable group in this regard. Analysing the example of Polish migration to Germany, the aim of this paper is to present the strategies that migrants aged 45 and over undertake in the context of pension plans and ensuring an adequate level of social protection while working abroad. Using empirical material collected during semi-structured interviews with migrant care workers, representatives of employment agencies and experts, the article sheds light on the diverse conditions that influence the strategies of individual workers. Depending on the general knowledge of their social rights, their migration strategy or their personal situation, migrants adopt three main strategies called (1) escape from problems instead of social security, (2) secure and legal work above all and (3) an informed and inquisitive insured worker.
