  • Background: Sale of single cigarettes is an important factor for early experimentation, initiation and persistence of tobacco use and a vital factor in the smoking epidemic in India as it is globally. Single cigarettes also promote the sale of illicit cigarettes and neutralises the effect of pack warnings and effective taxation, making tobacco more accessible and affordable to minors. This is the first study to our knowledge which estimates the size of the single stick market in India. Materials and Methods: In February 2014, a 10 jurisdiction survey was conducted across India to estimate the sale of cigarettes in packs and sticks, by brands and price over a full business day. Results: We estimate that nearly 75% of all cigarettes are sold as single sticks annually, which translates to nearly half a billion US dollars or 30 percent of the India's excise revenues from all cigarettes. This is the price which the consumers pay but is not captured through tax and therefore pervades into an informal economy. Conclusions: Tracking the retail price of single cigarettes is an efficient way to determine the willingness to pay by cigarette smokers and is a possible method to determine the tax rates in the absence of any other rationale.

  • 연구의 목적은 경상남도 진주지역의 사회적기업에 대한 심층조사 결과를 바탕으로 지역 사회적기업의 실태와 정책과제를 제시하는 것이다. 중앙정부 및 경상남도의 인증을 받은 진주지역의 사회적기업은 총 11개이며, 그 중 사회서비스 기반형이 3개, 문화콘텐츠 기반형이 4개, 지역자원 기반형이 3개, 그리고 복합형이 1개인 것으로 나타났다. 진주지역의 사회적기업들은 대체로 상품과 서비스의 생산사슬이 국지화(지역기반)되어 있어 지역성에 기반한 사회적기업이라고 할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 사회적기업의 정체성에 걸맞은 공익성 기반을 갖추고 있으나 순수 민간 기업과의 경쟁에서 존립할 수 있는 기반이 전반적으로 취약한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 맹아 단계에 머물고 있는 진주지역의 사회적 경제 기반을 활성화시키기 위해서는 정책적 지원을 위한 거버넌스 체계의 개선, 우선구매 등 사회적기업의 홍보 및 판로확대를 위한 지원책의 제도화, 기업 혁신역량 강화를 위한 네트워킹 활성화 등을 위한 노력이 수반되어야 할 것이다.

  • Rapid growth of the higher education role in ensuring the socio-economic and innovative development of the national economy in the context of the development of the information society and the knowledge economy is observed. Achieving positive synergistic effects of the higher education development requires proper funding for university education and research. The existing funding models for national higher education systems in a number of developing countries need modernization in accordance with the modern challenges of economic and innovative development. The purpose of the article is to formulate theoretical - methodological and applied foundations for the development and implementation of the integrated model of the higher education financing under the Quadruple Helix concept. At the center of the developed model are the areas of interaction identified by the authors, namely: Personnel, Science, Management, Innovation, Social area. This made it possible to specify the interests of all stakeholders and orient the activities of higher education institutions to the satisfaction of these interests. Effective implementation of the integrated Model of the higher education financing requires increasing the level of investment attractiveness and practical value of university research; activation of innovative development of enterprises; state stimulation of business participation in university research and education; harmonization of current legislation with EU standards. Implementation of the Model will diversify sources of funding for universities, increase their level of economic security and achieve integrated synergies from the interaction of universities, business, government and the public (as the main stakeholders within the Quadruple Helix concept).

  • In the formation of a socially oriented economy in the context of European integration, the development of tourism is one of the priority areas that positively affects the socio-economic situation of the country as a whole and its regions in particular, stimulates important economic activities and strengthens Ukraine's positive image in Europe and the world. In view of this, in the framework of a thorough study of the tourism industry it is necessary to assess its potential. This study proposes an assessment of tourism potential in the regional context, which consists of consistent implementation of six steps, namely: first, the definition of research objects for which the tourism potential is determined; secondly, the formation of a set of basic features for assessing tourism potential of certain objects; thirdly, the collection of information on individual indicators, which are selected to assess the tourism potential of the objects; fourth, the calculation of parametric indices by comparing the indicators of each individual object of study (region) with the average values in the set of objects under study; fifth, the definition of a generalized index of tourism potential of the region; sixth, grouping regions by the values of the generalized index of tourism potential. Execution of the stated algorithm involves the use of various methods, in particular, statistical, graphical, parametric, the analysis of hierarchies, matrix and cartographic. Approbation of the proposed assessment of tourism potential at the regional level in Ukraine allowed to group regions according to the values of the generalized index of tourism potential, which can be used as a basis for developing measures to increase and enhance their tourism potential in Ukraine in terms of European integration.

  • Purpose - This study examines the awareness regarding the symptoms of COVID-19 exposures and safety distances strategies whether they were useful to resile the businesses a mid of the pandemic. Besides exploring the awareness and safety distances, the effectiveness of offering free use of protective equipment (mask, hand sanitizer, frequent hand washing, etc.) to the customers for visiting the business centers was also examined. Design/methodology/approach - This study collected 264 survey data in Bangladesh which is one of the most densely populated country and very vulnerable for COVID-19 due to its socio-economic condition. The multiple regression analysis is used to analyze the data. Findings - The findings of the study indicate that the awareness about the symptoms of virus exposures (cough, fever, diarrhea, and weakness) has significant affirmative effects to enhance the public movement for business purposes with the lower possibility to be affected by the virus. The study also indicates that safety distances and protective equipment can mediate the significant positive relationship between the awareness of the disease and the businesses' resilient capacity. Research implications or Originality - COVID-19, as an apprehensive health issue in the current world, has sharpened the uncertainty of the businesses. One essential technique as lockdown, has been followed by almost every country to protect the transmission of the virus even though the scholars criticized it due to the substantial adverse effects on the country's economy. Under this circumstances, this study provides implications to the relevant businesses by assessing the nexus between the safety distances and the proper uses of protective equipment with the business resilient.

  • South Korea's industrial injuries are decreasing overall in the last 32 years. Nevertheless, the fatal occupational injury rate is still higher than in developed countries. This study was conducted to help prevention strategies of occupational injuries for the Republic of Korea. Fatal occupational injury rates were obtained from "Industrial Accident Analysis"of the Korean Ministry of Labor. Poisson regression was used to assess time trends. Socioeconomic indicators were obtained from the Korea Labor Institute and the Statistics Korea. Fatal occupational injury rates were adjusted by year, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between the socio-economic indicators and occupational injuries. In 1975, fatal occupational injury rate was 54.8 per 100,000 workers. With somewhat up and down, it was decreased to 21.0 in 2006. An annual rate of change for the years 1975-2006 was - 1.83%, and for the years 2002-2006 was -5.02%. As economic growth rate, paricipation rate for the age less than 25 and hours of work per week or year increased, fatal occupational injury rate also increased. Conversely, as GDP per capita, paricipation rate or employment rate for female, paricipation rate for the age 25 or more, hourly compensation costs for production workers and services output as percent of GDP increased, fatal occupational injury rate decreased. By the development of safety techniques and the adoption of more legislative constraints, developed economy reduce occupational injuries. Conversely, economic growth may raise occupational injuries. Therefore, prevention strategies are needed to manage both of them. We need to make an effort to prevent occupational injuries due to not only sexual differences, but also job differences between male and female. Preventive strategies are needed to consider the characteristics of younger workers. Addition to wage, other appropriate variables for work condition should be considered together. Extending work hours is need to be regulated with systemic methods.

  • 본 연구는 경제전반의 저성장 기조에도 불구하고 성장세를 보이는 지식서비스산업의 입지적 특성과 하위 업종별 고용기회의 변화를 분석한다. 특히 우리나라 20-30대 청년층이 선호하는 전문직서비스업 중 고용분포가 높은 업종인 출판업, 정보서비스업, 교육서비스업을 중심으로 지난 10년간 입지분포의 공간적 특성을 파악하고 고용분포의 변화를 예측한다. 이를 위하여 수도권지역을 대상으로 지식서비스업과 하위 3개 업종별 입지계수(LQ)를 산출하고, LISA 분석을 통해 집중분포지역을 파악한다. 또한 지식서비스업과 하위 3개 업종별 입지분포에 영향을 미치는 사회경제적 요인을 파악하고, 마르코프 체인 모형(Markov Chain Model)의 확률과정을 적용하여 고용분포지역의 변화를 단기예측한다. 분석결과, 수도권의 일부 특정지역을 중심으로 집중분포를 보이고 있는 세 업종별 특성에 따라 분포에 영향을 미치는 유의미한 변수에 차이가 나타났고, 업종에 따라 지역별 고용분포의 재분산에도 공간적 차이가 나타날 것으로 추정되었다. 본 연구에서 살펴본 지식서비스업종은 청년층의 고용분포가 가장 높지만 동시에 인력부족도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이들 업종별 구인-구직과정의 마찰을 감소시키기 위한 노력이 필요할 것이며, 이는 청년실업 문제를 완화하는 데에도 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

  • 기업의 사회적 책임에 대한 인식과 요구가 증대되면서, 사회적 기여를 위한 기업의 활동이 다양해지고 있는 추세이다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 정기적으로 실시하는 관련 설문 조사에 따르면 기업의 사회 공헌활동에 대해 국민이 만족하지 못하는 것으로 나타났으며, 기업과 국민의 사회공헌활동에 대한 관점이 다른 것을 파악할 수 있었다. 이에 따라 다양한 사회공헌활동을 구체적으로 분류하여 사회에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 기업 사회공헌활동과 성과에 대한 연관성을 파악하고자 사회공헌활동을 "사회문화적자원 활동", "사회간접적자원 활동" 및 "경제적자원 활동" 총 3가지 요인으로 분류하고, 요인별로 기업 간 연계활동과 지역발전성과에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, '사회문화적자원'과 '사회간접적자원' 활동은 지역 내 '기업 간 연계 활동'에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, '지역 내 기업 간 연계' 활동이 활발할수록 '지역발전성과'에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, '경제적자원' 활동은 '지역발전성과'에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 넷째, '사회문화적자원'과 '사회간접적자원' 활동은 지역 내 기업 간의 연계를 통해 '지역발전성과'에 간접적인 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 기업의 사회공헌활동과 성과에 대한 연관성을 정량적으로 파악하고 제시하였다.

  • 이 연구는 개혁개방정책 이후 중국 내 조선족이 보인 사회인구학적 행태의 변화를 설명하기 위한 것이다. 시장경제체제의 도입과 한중 국교수립 이후 조선족사회는 출산력수준의 급격한 저하와 인구구조의 고령화로 매우 급격한 변화를 겪고 있다. 조선족의 인구행태와 인구구조의 이러한 변화는 한족에 비해 두드러지게 나타난다. 중국 내 조선족인구가 가장 밀집되어 거주하고 있는 연변지역의 조선족사회는 최근 절대인구규모의 감소추세를 보이고 있다. 아울러 시장경제의 도입 이후 이동성향이 높아지고 통혼권과 거주지역이 확산되며. 조선족학교를 통한 민족교육이 급격히 위축되는 추세를 보인다. 그리고 이에 따라 조선족사회의 사회적 통합과 문화정체성이 약화되고 중국 내 소수민족사회로서의 위상도 점차 약화되는 과정에 있다. 연변 조선족사회의 사회인구학적 변화와 위기상황에 대한 설명을 위해 이 연구는 연변조선족자치주의 1990년과 2000년 인구센서스 자료와 각종 통계자료를 활용하였다. 또한, 이 연구에서는 인구센서스를 통하여 드러난 조선족인구의 연령구조가 매우 불규칙적이라는 점을 감안하여 1990년과 2000년 인구센서스 자료의 신뢰성과 정확도를 재검토하는 작업도 이루어졌다.
