“…Furthermore, Gavurova et al (2020) evaluate the effects of selected health indicators on the competitiveness of developed countries; they find that improve the health of men and women is likely to increase the competitiveness of developed countries. Finally, Puciato et al (2020) think that lowered household income leads to a constrained fulfillment of individual and collective needs, significantly impacting the unemployed's quality of life and perceived health condition.…”

This study investigates the causal relationship between Income Inequality and Healthcare Expenditure within a quantile panel-type causality framework using yearly panel data from 2004 to 2017. The empirical results show that within the high-growth regime of health expenditure to income ratio, reducing the deterioration of income inequality can make the ratio of health expenditure to income keep increasing. Besides, within the extreme income inequality regime, the ratio of health expenditure to income continues to increase, which can reduce the deterioration degree of income inequality. This paper presents evidence that to improve the continuous deterioration of income inequality; it should focus on the continuous increase in the ratio of health expenditure to income, not just the continuous increase in health expenditure. Accordingly, policy-makers should be cautious about the momentum between the ratio of health expenditure to income and income inequality when they reach the extremely quantiles.

The paper deals with subjective perceptions of health by individuals. The research aimed at understanding socioeconomic and demographic factors influencing the fulfilment of healthcare needs and at finding out categories of factors that lead to the highest chances of meeting the need in consumer segments formed according to perceptions of their health status. The analyses were based on the EU-SILC database of primary data on the income situation and living conditions of households. In 2017, the database included extra questions on health. The method of cluster analysis was employed. As a result, three clusters of individuals representing EU countries formed depending on the perceived state of health – the authors named the clusters ‘optimistic’, ‘neutral’, and ‘pessimistic’. For each segment, the binary logistic regression was applied to determine categories of factors leading to the highest probability of meeting the healthcare need. The greatest influence over the fulfilment of the need for healthcare has been confirmed for the factor “Sector of economic activity”, followed by the type of economic activity. Some differences were revealed between segments. For example in the third segment, i.e., respondents who rated worst their health, a strong influence of education has been identified. The highest chances of meeting the need for health care are achieved in the first segment by executives, but in the second and the third segment by individuals active in education. On the other hand, craftsmen and workers have the lowest chances. In all segments, the influence of household composition was confirmed, with single households and single-parent households reporting lower chances of meeting their healthcare needs. Respondents who did not feel their healthcare need was met mostly said it was due to financial reasons, long waiting times, or fear of medical treatment.

The objective of this research study is to identify the degree of implementation of innovations in the field of job digitalization and to identify whether jobs allow employees to maximum autonomy in the performance of their work. This study uses Computer Assisted Self Interviewing (CASI) to meet this objective and to test the hypotheses. Data distribution and collection were conducted throughout the year 2020; the research sample includes 841 companies from the EU 27 international environment. The holistic finding is that economic sector does not show significant differences in current levels of or expectations for innovations in the field of digitalization. This finding demonstrates that digitalization is a phenomenon that is not only linked to certain specific industries of the economy, but that affects the economy as a whole. The authors’ research demonstrates that EU 27 businesses, regardless of the sector in which they operate, are aware of the need to innovate in digitalization in order to remain competitive.
