Takaful and Karama is a social program that has been launched by the Egyptian government in 2015 to support the disadvantaged and most vulnerable families and elderly citizens. The part of the program that is directed to support families represents a conditional cash transfer that requires families to keep their children in school until they are 18 years old and follow up visits to local health care units to be eligible for receiving the cash transfer. Amira is an Egyptian ten years old child from a poor family who has previously dropped out of school. To be eligible for the fund, her mother enrolled her in school again. Amira is expected to remain in school until she is 18 years old. a) Explain, with the support of illustrative charts, the impact of Amira's returning to school until she is 18 on her potential life earning stream. b) How will that social program impact the national human capital of Egypt in the future, and specifically the characteristics of the Egyptian national labour force.

Congratulations! Upon graduating you accept a well-deserved job with XER Consulting. Your first job involves a consulting gig with a state subcommittee on health care issues. The Senate health care subcommittee is considering the expansion of two existing public health programs. One program concerns additional funding for nursing homes around the state. The other program involves additional funding for community health centers around the state. In both cases the funding is supposed to be used to attract more nurses for expansion purposes. Your job involves the following four tasks: A. Draw and use a production possibilities curve (PPC) to graphically show and verbally explain to the subcommittee members the opportunity cost at a point in time of expanding any one of the programs, assuming that both of them are initially operating efficiently. Be sure to correctly label the axes and all points. Refer to the points on the graph in your explanation.

Choice of a neighbourhood is a function of economic parameters like income, wealth, and occupation. Social factors such as religion, caste, other group identity etc. also influence the decision of where to live. Demographic factors such as constituents of the family and number of dependent members are also important. Family with more number of kids is likely to prefer housing in an area with educational institutions. Similarly, family with more number of elderly will prefer a place where medical assistance can be quickly reached. Choice of neighbourhood becomes extremely important, as it affects the quality of life in a large way. There are external effects of neighbour’s behaviour on one’s life style. If the neighbours are very social and of high moral values, there are no clashes and disturbances. However, if one is not lucky enough to have a good and understanding neighbour, things can come to a level, where there can be fights and legal suites. One such example happened in my…

Describe key points (with clear justification) that you would use to encourage a cohort of farmers and a cohort of employers of several electricity distribution companies to join an appropriate health insurance scheme.
Medicare recipients can purchase supplemental private insurance (known as Medigap insurance) to fill the gap in coverage left by Medicare. This gap includes copayments, deductibles, and prescription drug expenses not covered by Medicare. Several years ago, the government enacted regulations that specify minimum standards for items that Medigap policies must cover. This made the policies more expensive, and as a consequence, about 25 percent of the elderly who would have purchased some Medi-gap insurance purchased none at all [Finkelstein, 2004]. Consider an individual who consumes two goods, "insurance" and "all other goods." The cost of a unit of Medigap insurance is $1, as is the cost of a unit of all other goods. Sketch a budget constraint and set of indifference curves that are consistent with the following scenario: In an unregulated market, an individual with a $30,000 income purchases $5,000 worth of Medigap insurance. The government then puts mandates on Medigap policies that…
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted both the education and health system in most, if not all, nations in the world. The scarring effects of the pandemic are predicted to be long-lasting, some of which are the fear of learning-loss and lower future earnings for the current students. Provide evidence(s) that support and/or contradict this statement! If such scarring is expected to occur, would the scarring effects would be worse for the developing countries than the developed ones, and whether the effects would be worse for certain groups such as the poor, women, children, etc.!
