Changes in the system of country’s population health care depending on the level of providing affordable housing

Abstract

This paper is devoted to providing affordable housing as a significant factor in public health management, inclusive growth, and SDG. The purpose is to empirically prove changes in the system of country’s population health care depending on the level of providing affordable housing. The empirical base includes time series and panel data for 27 EU countries during 2011–2019. Due to correlation analysis (Shapiro-Wilk testing, Spearman or Pearson correlation, lags in time), regression analysis, and building a dynamic panel estimation model with Sargan testing in STATA, the study empirically confirmed and formalized the impact of affordable housing funding on changes in the system of country’s population health care. In particular, the study found the dependence between overcrowding level and the share of homeowners with mortgages (a decrease of overcrowding level by an average of 0.61% with a time lag of 2 years due to an increase by 1%); the share of tenants on concessional terms/free (0.41% with a time lag of 3 years); and the share of public spending on housing development (0.25% with a time lag of 3 years). The direct relationship between the overcrowding and mortality from dangerous diseases (tuberculosis, AIDS, viral hepatitis, mental and behavioral disorders, diabetes, pneumonia) was also revealed. Public spending on housing under social protection programs (subsidies, etc.) proved to be the least effective. Preference should be given to the development of affordable mortgage lending (faster and greater effect). Generally, it impacts public management decisions in the health care system, social, and housing spheres. AcknowledgmentsThe study was funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and performed the results of the project “Economic and mathematical modeling and forecasting, development of methodological and methodological foundations for creating a roadmap for reforming the health care system in Ukraine, taking into account behavioral, social, economic and legal determinants” (Agreement БФ / 24-2021).This study received funding under the research subsidy of the Department of Applied Social Sciences of the Faculty of Organization and Management of the Silesian University of Technology for the year 2022 (13/020/BK_22/0072).

Green Operation Strategies in Healthcare for Enhanced Quality of Life

“…The performance of the healthcare industry increases when targeted healthcare units create and put into practice hospital operations strategies that consciously and consistently change structural and infrastructural resource aspects [6]. Finding suitable, appropriate, and efficient ways to improve and implement the health sector model in practice while also enhancing its structures, methodologies, and technologies are essential [7] for transforming healthcare to enhance the quality of life.…”

Tax, investment, institutional and social channels of economic shadowing: Challenges for macro-financial stability and good governance

“…the actually received and officially declared wages, etc. According to the International Labor Organization, on average almost 20% of the employed population aged 15 to 70 in the world is informally employed.Given that this group of tax revenues is one of the main sources of financing the social development programs, high levels of informal employment significantly reduce the country's potential to fulfill its social function and implement social protection programs for the population(Petrushenko et al, 2022;Eddassi, 2020;Sadigov, 2020;Kuzior et al, 2022).…”
