“…In addition, the income gap for older people is widening. For example, in Belgium, the average income over the age of 65 (€18,021 per year in 2016) is lower than the average income under the age of 65 (€23,675 per year in 2016) (Džuka, Lačný, & Babinčák, 2019). In contrast, as people get older, they face increased costs and expenses associated with various health problems (Lehnert et al, 2011).…”

The objective of this paper is to discover the evidence supporting or refuting the cost-effectiveness of Assisted Living Technology (ALT) in aging in place of older adults through a comprehensive presentation of cost studies and economic analyses. The search was conducted on two main databases for health economic valuation: The NHS economic valuation database (NHS EED) and the health economic valuation database (HEED). The study was evaluated using the protocol required by Campbell and Cochrane Economic Methods. As an aging society evolves, the need for long-term care services increases. The prevalence of chronic diseases increases in the older population; seniors may have to abandon their bative social life and need long-term care in a nursing home. Aging is a global phenomenon. Asia is aging rapidly. By 2030, the number of Asians aged 65 and over will increase from the current 300 million to 565 million. By 2050, this number will increase to 900 million, about one-sixth of the number of people in Asia. Aging trends are regional, but demographic changes are diverse. Countries such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and China, whose populations are steadily aging, are in extreme situations. Research has shown that ALT can reduce costs in some cases, but with little precise data and low quality. Later developments, e.g., capacity methods, should be used for further research. Qualitative research is needed to assess the cost-effectiveness of ALT before making reliable conclusions about the application.

“…They also do not consider the possibility of an income indicator that could become part of the methodology for European statistics and be applicable to more countries. A weakness of the equivalized disposable income used by Dzuka et al (2019) and Soltes and Soltesova (2014) is that it reflects the income of the entire household, not of a particular individual, which is shaped by the demographic and socioeconomic factors that relate to the individual. Therefore, in this study, the basis for the Income Index is the sum of incomes that is related only to a particular individual.…”

“…This was confirmed, for example, in a study by Soltes and Soltesova (2014), who used equivalized household income to determine the factors affecting it in a regression for the case of Slovakia. Dzuka et al (2019) uses EU-SILC data and equivalized household income, but for a different purpose, namely to determine the impact of household income on well-being. Another example of a dataset used for household income analyses is the real-life datasets from banks by Kibekbaev and Duman (2016).…”

IntroductionThe introduction of the Income Index constructed by authors as well as the identification of demographic, socio-economic and occupation-related factors influencing the income of individuals in EU countries is the main contribution of the paper. The Income Index makes it possible to analyze data of individuals from all EU countries.MethodsThe multiple hierarchical regression of EU-SILC microdata provides the factors that influence individuals’ income.ResultsOutcomes show through which factors can be intervened in social policy settings to reduce income inequality. Factors significantly affecting the Income Index are the household composition, occupation sector (typically agriculture and accommodation and services are related to low incomes) and the degree of urbanization (rural areas with the lowest incomes of individuals).DiscussionFindings confirm ongoing discussions about the specific position of single parent households in the labour market and their need for social support.

“…To test for the existence of different causal relationships on both sides of a given threshold, a common approach is to group samples together to test according to a priori threshold values (Boes and Winkelmann 2010;Džuka, Lačný, and Babinčák 2019). The difficulty of this approach is to find a suitable threshold value a priori.…”

Can Economic Growth Reduce Public Dissatisfaction? Evidence from a Panel Threshold Model in Chinese Cities

Much is known about the relationship between economic growth and satisfaction, while little is known about the relationship between economic growth and dissatisfaction. This study measures the levels of public dissatisfaction in 36 Chinese cities from 2011 to 2018 using data from an official online petition platform. We construct panel data to analyze the impact of per capita GDP and per capita income on public dissatisfaction. The results show that per capita income has a significant negative effect on public dissatisfaction, but only once the per capita income exceeds a threshold amount. In the extended discussion, the nonlinear relationship between income and public dissatisfaction is described as a stair-shaped curve. The results imply the need for developing countries to adhere to economic policies based on income maximization.
