“…Some countries have incorporated the means-testing of private health in the allocation of public care as an attempt to strike a balance between equity and sustainability. The notion of "user pay" is congruent with the neoliberal government approach and perception of fairness [49]. It was further proposed that if "citizens believe that their taxes are being used properly, they are more likely to support higher taxes" [50], (p. 39).…”

Due to population aging and sociodemographic change, there is an increasing reliance on residential aged care facilities in the Asia–Pacific region. Most countries have adopted taxation as the primary means to levy capital for funding universal health services and means-testing of benefits may be further incorporated as a policy balance between horizontal equity and fiscal sustainability. It was hypothesized that residential care needs are evaluated by assessments relating to funding; this scoping review seeks to synthesize how such assessments relate to the care needs of residents. Searches were conducted in concordance with a priori protocol for English-language literature published since 2008 in Embase, CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, JBI, TROVE, and four peak international organizations for studies and reports that describe the assessment of residents’ needs in Asia–Pacific countries that used a mixture of taxation and means-testing to publicly fund residential aged care. One paper and 47 reports were included. Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore utilize a taxation and means-tested user charge approach to fund residential aged care needs. The common care needs assessed include health conditions, daily activities, cognition, psychiatric, and behavioral needs. While essential care needs are publicly funded, other holistic care needs, such as spirituality and autonomy-based needs, still need to be covered for meaningful occupation by the residents.

“…För en närmare diskussion om arbetslinjens skiftande betydelse och dess relation till socialförsäkringen, se till exempel SOU 2009:89. ersättningssystem och socialt disciplinerande inslag i form av ökade aktivitets-och anpassningskrav. Det yttersta syftet har varit att sänka de så kallade reservationslönerna, minska trösklarna in på arbetsmarknaden och reducera den offentliga "försörjningsbördan" (Harvey, 2007;Schram, 2018;Missos, 2021).…”

Den svenska funktionshinderspolitiken formuleras i termer av individuella rättigheter och har förskjutits bort från patientperspektiv till en ökad betoning på delaktighet, likvärdiga förutsättningar och aktivt medborgarskap. Samtidigt har tillämpningen av arbetslinjen inneburit att möjligheterna att kvalificera sig för ohälsorelaterade sociala ersättningar begränsats. I artikeln behandlas hur detta har påverkat villkoren för företagare med funktionsnedsättning. Syftet med artikeln är att belysa en potentiell välfärdspolitisk målkonflikt gällande möjligheterna för personer med funktionsnedsättning som medför nedsatt arbetsförmåga att starta och driva företag. Artikeln baseras dels på en analys av utredningar och styrdokument rörande sjukförsäkringen och sjukersättningen, dels på statistik om företagare med stöd från Arbetsförmedlingen och som beviljats sjukersättning under åren 2007 och 2017. En central slutsats är att tillämpningen av arbetslinjen, särskilt i anslutning till reformerna av sjukersättningen från 2008, har försämrat villkoren för företagare med funktionsnedsättning och minskat möjligheterna att etablera nya företag mellan uppföljningsåren 2007 och 2017.

“…The first phase (2009/ 10-2019) is characterized as 'inflated inequality', the second phase (2020-2021/2)which perpetuated the process of internal (domestic) devaluationas 'unequal inflation'. inequality spiked (Missos 2021;Missos et al 2024) and inflation was unequally distributed (Pierros/Theodoropoulou, 2022), initiating a new phase of austerity dynamics.…”

Empirical data are presented on expenditure inequality dynamics in Greece, how they evolved during a period of deep socio-economic crisis, and how they were sustained by inflation. A differentiated approach to expenditure inequalities is applied that reveals the size of contraction of total private expenditure and its sub-categories for different expenditure groups of the population. One of the most important aspects of expenditure inequality in Greece concerns the inability of the widely used measures of dispersion to capture the real adjustment magnitude that occurs during a period of overlapping crises. A close examination of private expenditure enables the distributional effects of contractionary measures in Greece, which are intensified by inflation, to be portrayed as inverted austerity. It is argued that the 2021–2022 inflationary pressures in Greece were a continuation of the policies used to advance the purposes of internal devaluation that had been in effect since at least 2010. The data show that the poor in Greece have suffered unprecedented hardship, and that inequality has risen sharply.
