The aim of this study was to look at the impact of firm specific determinants of non-pension fund on property investment decisions, a case study of Zanzibar Social Security Fund (ZSSF) in Tanzania. The unit root test, co-integration, and vector error correction model (VECM) were used for estimation in the linear econometric model equation, which looked at the impact of three firm specific determinants of non-pension fund on property investment decisions: urbanization (URB), inflation rate (INF) and interest rate (IR). The estimated result showed that, there was presence of long-run relationship at equilibrium between property investment decisions (PID) in ZSSF and all tested determinants of property investment decisions. The results revealed that urbanization (URB) had positive significant long run relationship with property investment decisions in ZSSF. But it was further revealed that the inflation rate (INF) and interest rate (IR) had negative relationship with PID at ZSSF, though they were statistically significant. The results also revealed unidirectional causality relationship whereby PID causes IR. Furthermore, the results revealed unidirectional causal relationship from URB to PID at 5% level of significant. However, the result revealed that PID and INF were not granger cause each other in a short run. The study then recommends among others, that management of ZSSF has to consider these determinants when they make property investment decisions, this including, the need for management of Zanzibar Social Security Fund to work together with financial institutions like banks to develop a working formula on how they can facilitate mortgage facility at reasonable rate for residential and commercial properties, this will help to increase demand for real estate to society.

Data were collected from four selected public health institutions namely Morogoro General Hospital, Nunge Health Centre, Mafiga Health Centre and Kingolwila Health Centre respectively. The sample of 124 respondents were used, that is; employees and heads of the health centres. Collected data were coded using SPSS, where frequencies, percentages and chi-square were employed. The study identified that career development, training, appreciation, recognition, membership to the Social Security Fund, team work, working condition, paid leave, housing allowances and acting allowance were, the motivation schemes provided to public health employees. However public health workers are motivated by being a member on social security fund, medical cover, supervision, and job security. The result shows that there is significant difference between the employee who are motivated and those who are not motivated with regard to their provision of customer care to patients. The study concludes that most of the employees are not motivated by the existing motivation schemes which consequences lower their ability to provide the appropriate health services. The study recommends that strategies for improving motivation of employee to improve customer care include increase salary, improve working condition, pay housing allowance to all employees, allowance such as leave, overtime should be paid on time, promotion should be made in appropriate time and fair.

The objective of this paper is to present a series of policies for the control of the COVID-19 pandemic by the Costa Rican authorities. An exhaustive review of the pandemic control policies was made in the official government media, mainly the Ministry of Health and the Costa Rican Social Security Fund and some collective media. The first wave of the pandemic in Costa Rica was quite mild, allowing the government to address it with a series of quite effective suppression and mitigation measures, which had the unrestricted support of the population. The second wave grew aggressively, causing social discontent due to the economic impact. Due to the ineffectiveness of the “hammer and dance” strategy, the Costa Rican government has rethought that strategy, lifting certain restrictions while recognizing the risk involved in terms of the increase in cases of COVID-19 in cases and deaths.

As the Social Security program in the United States emerged from the crisis of the 1970s with a solid set of reforms intended to guarantee the program's financial solvency into the twenty-first century, a new attack on the system arose in the form of debates centering around the relationship of the Social Security fund to the federal deficit. Conservative economists used concerns about the national economy as fuel for their own arguments that Social Security has negatively affected the economy and that heavier reliance should be placed on private sector benefits. This paper uses historical evidence to analyze how adequately private sector benefits functioned in the past. Among the conclusions reached are that the private sector failed to provide adequate protection for older citizens, and that benefits were inequitably distributed on the basis of gender and social class. Any tendency toward heavier reliance on the private sector for provisions for old age security would only exacerbate existing inequalities.
