Cost-Benefit Analysis of Down Syndrome Screening in Iran

Background: Down syndrome (DS) screening has been integrated into prenatal care programs in Iran. Objectives: Using cost-benefit analysis (CBA) method, this study aimed to evaluate the economic aspects of combined first trimester screening in Iran. Methods: The population of this descriptive cross-sectional study included all pregnant women in Tehran, Iran. A decision tree model was used to determine the costs and benefits of diagnosing and averting a DS fetus through screening. Direct and indirect costs of diagnosis and the incremental living costs of DS children in 2019 were calculated from societal perspective and compared with each other. Results: The cost of identifying a fetus with DS in Iran is approximately equal to 611 million Tomans (about 25,000 USD), and the incremental living cost of DS children (benefits) is about 34 million Tomans (about 2,270 USD). The net monetary benefit is negative due to the lower incremental living cost of a DS child than the cost of finding the affected fetus. Conclusions: Our results showed that the cost of finding an affected fetus is more than the incremental living cost of a DS child. Also, combined first-trimester screening test for DS brought no positive net benefits in Iran.

Measuring Housing Affordability Using Residual Income Method for Million-plus Cities in India

Housing affordability is an ever-growing concern in rapidly urbanizing countries like India. The need for affordable housing can hardly be overemphasis in India. Government has many policies and programs running for fulfilling the requirement. But it is essential to define affordability standards for the success of any such policies and programs. The Ratio Method, which is currently used as the base for determining affordable housing, doesn’t have the flexibility to match the varied scale and standards across Indian cities. This paper is based on Michel E stone’s residual income’ method to measure housing affordability for India’s million-plus city. It gives a new approach for measuring housing affordability based on the minimum living cost for survival. It uses Poverty Line data (2014) and NSSO economic survey data (2012) for defining the minimum standard of living in the city. Stakeholders can use the city-specific measurement for affordable housing generated from this paper in affordable housing policies and programs.

Introducing a Conceptual Framework for Spatial Decision SIM

Planning is a time-sensitive process with spatial characteristics as its core. It is effective to formulate spatially-related decisions on an informative background to maximize benefits and minimize risks. Not only decision makers who affect the space, but also users and owners interact with it, affect the related decisions. Thus, it is healthful to widen participation. This chapter introduces a conceptual framework for the Spatial Decision Simulator “SD-SIM.” This work aims to reach a platform that supports spatial decisions made by various stakeholders to provide a capability for integrated modeling of socio-economic, man-made, and natural environmental impacts. It contains four components as a logical target for expressing the evolution of spatial issues and reflecting them into a simulator. These four components are Districts Sub-System, Property Price and Living Cost Simulator, Interventions Sub-System, and Development Scenarios Sub-System. The SD-SIM depends on free-access data sources. Through its sub-systems, the platform integrates different analytical methods and tools.

DOES COMPENSATION INFLUENCE THE PERFORMANCE OF ORGANIZATIONS IN MALAYSIA?

Compensation is one of the relevant topics to be discussed in many organizations either in Malaysia or other countries. Presently, the compensation issue increasingly catches the interest of academics, employers, employees, and also organizations in Malaysia. This study was conducted to examine the influence of compensation to the employees and their performance to achieve the organization's goal. Due to high pressure was living cost and high risk when they are doing their works in the organizations, then they have to be more secured, either with the safety or wages. Over the past year, there is an attempt by many organizations today to identify innovative compensation strategies that are directly linked to improving organizational performance as well as work performance. This paper aims to review how compensation influences the work performance and the effect comes from the extraordinary growth of information and communication technologies (ICT), compensation has been recently proposed to indicate the integration of ICT purposely to support the traditional participatory process. However, this paper will discuss the implications of compensation in the organization in Malaysia and discusses the experience’s views too. Although this study already discussed the implications and experiences by the compensation, we hope that Malaysian can provide useful insight, knowledge, and understanding from the employer to the employees where there had no problem created by them. Toward the end of this paper, a conceptual framework will be offered. Based on the discussion on related empirical review, the compensation factors are proposed to have significant influences on work performance in the organization in Malaysia. In the future, we hope that future studies would focus on other discussions of compensation factors or reward satisfaction. Therefore, future research should be alert on how to make sure this issue is not getting worst but be more effective and comprehensive to implement to the next generations.

Living Cost Gap in the European Union Member States

The living cost gap refers to the differential amongst income, expenditures, and poverty lines. It is important since it addresses a number of aspects that point towards historic and continued living standards. The purpose of this study is to identify, measure, and compare the living cost gap in the Europe Union member states. Twenty-nine indicators/criteria from Eurostat and World Bank, covering the period 2008–2017, are employed. In order to rank and compare living cost gap by countries, objective functions for each criterion are defined and applied. The importance of each criterion is assessed independently. The composite living cost gap indicator for each MS is calculated using multiple criteria decision support methods. The relationship between the compound annual growth rates of this indicator and each single criterion is estimated and evaluated. The findings of the study suggest that living cost gap is higher where unemployment rates and households’ expenditure on basic needs (housing, food etc.), are larger, while living cost gap is lower where households’ income and expenditure on optional needs are higher. The living cost gap in the majority of countries tends to narrow/decrease, along with the increase in the household income and expenditures. Our research highlights the need to mitigate unemployment and households’ low net income in order to alleviate living cost gap. The analysis and assessment of living cost gap might help identifying the most vulnerable social profiles and groups, and hence might contribute to the adequate formulation and implementation of targeted policy responses and interventions at European Union, national, and regional level.
