The study's goal is to determine the amount of climate change's impact on ethnic minority (EM) households' livelihoods, as well as their adaptability to climate change and long-term viability. The research was conducted in Vietnam's Northwestern Sub-region, where ethnic minorities account for more than half of the overall population. The study uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods based on a survey of 480 households in 04 provinces severely affected by climate change in the Northwest sub-region of Vietnam. The results show that: climate change (extreme weather events) occurs with increasing frequency, mainly affecting the life expectancy, health, and capital of households; Vulnerable groups (women, ethnic minorities) have a poor adaptive capacity and mainly suffer the consequences of shocks, are afraid to change their livelihoods; Microfinance plays an important role in enhancing the sustainability of livelihoods through increasing capital and financial assets and reducing the vulnerability of ethnic minority households. Finally, research has some solutions for microfinance - special credit specifically for ethnic minority households in the Northwest Sub-region: support for microfinance advice, home credit with transition orientations to adapt to climate change response and relieves its impact on the social lives.

This paper explores the key factors influencing the business performance of enterprises, specifically women-owned small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam. The extant literature on factors affecting the business performance of women-owned SMEs in Vietnam is still quite scarce. The researchers used a self-administered questionnaire to achieve a sample of 265 female SME owners in Vietnam to find these factors. The obtained data was analyzed by using SPSS 20.0. Cronbach's α test and factor analysis have been carried out to test the reliability of data and validate the hypothesis. The results showed that these enterprises' performances had a significant positive relationship with the business management competencies of the directors of the business, quality of human resources, financial access, socio-cultural factors, and government policy. Also, the study showed no relationship between the enterprise's business network and business performance. The results suggest that female business owners should improve their business management capacity, focusing on training activities to improve the quality of human resources of enterprises. The Government needs policies to support small and medium enterprises in accessing financial and other resources and propagate to reduce gender stereotypes.

Purpose - Investigating the connection between 'Oriental philosophy' and financial success is an adventure into the world of old knowledge and its applicability to the modern era. Thus, the current study aims to find ways to approach economic growth in a more inclusive, sustainable, and comprehensive way if we can sort out the complex webs that bind these two fields. Research design, data, and methodology - The main component of the current study is a thorough literature investigation in the current major database that gathers information from fifteen significant research articles. Numerous disciplines, including political science, economics, philosophy, and cultural studies, are represented among the selected papers. Result: The finding section provides a comprehensive knowledge of how concepts of oriental philosophy intersect with and have the capacity to revolutionize economic systems by delving into the subtle insights gleaned from the literature survey, case studies, and comparative analyses. Conclusion - The study concludes that oriental philosophies' emphasis on social harmony and community welfare points to the necessity of policies beyond only looking at financial data. Practitioners can use the study's conclusions to guide the creation of inclusive policies that put the welfare of all people first, deal with social injustices, and advance environmental sustainability.

Purpose: To investigate whether changes in Medical Aid (MA) status are associated with unmet need and catastrophic health expenditure (CHE). Methods: Data from the 2010 to 2014 Korea Health Panel (KHP) were used. The impact of changes in annual MA status ('MA to MA,' 'MA to MA Exit,' 'MA Exit to MA,' and 'MA Exit to MA Exit') on unmet need (all-cause and financial) and CHE (10% and 40% of household capacity to pay) were examined using the generalized estimating equation (GEE) model. Analysis was conducted separately for MA type I and II individuals. Results: In 1,164 Medical Aid type I individuals, compared to the 'MA to MA' group, the 'MA to MA Exit' group had increased likelihoods of all-cause and financial unmet need. This group also showed higher likelihoods of CHE at the 10% standard. The 'MA Exit to MA Exit' group showed increased likelihoods at the 10% and 40% CHE standards. In 852 type II recipients, the 'MA to MA Exit' group had higher likelihoods of CHE at the 10% standard. Conclusions: Type 1 MA exit beneficiaries had higher likelihoods of all-cause and financial unmet need, along CHE at the 10% standard. Type I 'MA Exit to MA Exit' beneficiaries also showed higher likelihoods of CHE at the 10% and 40% standards. In type II recipients, MA exit beneficiaries had higher likelihoods of CHE at the 10% standard. The results infer the importance of monitoring MA exit beneficiaries as they may be vulnerable to unmet need and CHE.

Objectives: Protecting people against financial hardship caused by illness stands as a fundamental obligation within healthcare systems and constitutes a pivotal component in achieving universal health coverage. The objective of this study was to analyze the prevalence and determinants of catastrophic health expenditures (CHE) in Iran, over the period of 2013 to 2019. Methods: Data were obtained from 7 annual national surveys conducted between 2013 and 2019 on the income and expenditures of Iranian households. The prevalence of CHE was determined using a threshold of 40% of household capacity to pay for healthcare. A binary logistic regression model was used to identify the determinants influencing CHE. Results: The prevalence of CHE increased from 3.60% in 2013 to 3.95% in 2019. In all the years analyzed, the extent of CHE occurrence among rural populations exceeded that of urban populations. Living in an urban area, having a higher wealth index, possessing health insurance coverage, and having employed family members, an employed household head, and a literate household head are all associated with a reduced likelihood of CHE (p<0.05). Conversely, the use of dental, outpatient, and inpatient care, and the presence of elderly members in the household, are associated with an increased probability of facing CHE (p<0.05). Conclusions: Throughout the study period, CHE consistently exceeded the 1% threshold designated in the national development plan. Continuous monitoring of CHE and its determinants at both household and health system levels is essential for the implementation of effective strategies aimed at enhancing financial protection.

민간투자사업의 자본구조는 사업시행자가 출자한 자기자본과 대출금융기관으로부터 조달한 타인자본으로 구성된다. 민간투자사업 기본계획에서는 사업시행자의 최소 자기자본비율을 25%로 규정하고 있으며, 일반적으로 정부와 사업시행자 간의 실시협약을 통하여 자본구조를 결정하게 된다. 그러나 민간투자사업의 자본구조는 사업의 수익률과 재무적 안정성을 결정하는 중요한 기준이기 때문에 자금조달계획 수립 시 자본구조에 따른 수익률의 변동성을 파악하고 적정 수익률과 재무적 안정성을 고려하여 자본구조를 최적화할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 민간투자사업의 수익률과 재무적 안정성을 동시에 극대화할 수 있도록 자본구조를 최적화하기 위한 방법론을 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 기존 민간투자사업들의 자본구조를 고찰하고 민간투자사업 재무모델을 분석하였다. 재무분석을 바탕으로 최적 자본구조를 결정하기 위해 효용함수 개념과 다목적 유전자 알고리즘을 이용한 자본구조 최적화모델을 제시하였다. 제시된 최적화 모델을 인천공항철도 민간투자사업에 적용하여 최적 자본구조를 도출하였고 민감도 분석과 시나리오 분석을 통해 그 활용성을 검증하였다. 사례분석 결과, 최적 자기자본비율은 실시협약에서 결정된 30%보다 낮은 22.3%에서 결정되었으며 이는 자기자본비율을 더 낮추어도 수익률과 재무적 안정성을 유지할 수 있다는 것을 시사한다. 본 연구는 수익률과 재무적 안정성을 동시에 고려하여 최적 자본구조를 결정함으로써 민간투자사업의 사업시행자에 적합한 자본구성과 자금조달을 위한 합리적인 의사판단 기준을 제시하였으며 사업시행자의 수익률 향상에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

최근 국내 외의 금융 위기는 중소기업의 경영환경을 더욱 힘들게 하고 있다. 국내 대다수 기업들은 자금부족 뿐만 아니라 인력부족, 시장 정보부족 등으로 혁신에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 중소기업 간 협업 활성화 방안이 제시되고 있으며, 협업 사업은 중소기업의 부족한 역량을 보완하기 위한 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 그러나 정부의 협업 활성화 노력에도 불구하고 기업들은 협업에 대한 의지가 부족하다. 협업과정은 복잡하고 상호의존적으로 얽혀 있어서 정부지원만으로 기업의 협업 의지를 높이기 어렵다. 본 연구는 협업적 리더십과 창의적 리더십이 기업 구성원의 협업지수에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지, 그리고 흡수역량(absorptive capacity)에 따라 이들의 관계가 어떠한 차이를 보이는지 실증 분석하였다. 연구의 결과 창의적 리더십은 흡수역량과 협업 지수에 영향을 주지 못하지만 협업적 리더십을 통해 흡수역량과 협업 지수에 영향을 주고 있다. 이러한 결과는 기업 간의 협업 활성화를 위해서는 창의성과 성과를 강조하는 기업 문화에서 벗어나 적극적으로 소통할 수 있는 유연하고 개방적인 태도를 가질 수 있는 조직 문화 환경을 만드는데 적극적인 노력이 필요하다는 시사점을 제시하는 것이다.

Prolonged Russia-Ukraine war, and unstable situation of supply and demand of global crops including the COVID-19 pandemic have raised awareness regarding food crisis, and in addition to this situation, export restriction measures imposed by some countries have accelerated the rise in the prices. Since the Republic of Korea depends annual crop consumption (21.32 million tons) mostly on the imports (food self-sufficiency rate in 2020 was 45.8%, crop self-sufficiency rate was 20.2%), our main task is to stably secure food. Now we need to put focus on building capacity to secure stable food supply, and actively manage and respond to risks. To overcome this condition, the Korean government set robust food sovereignty as its policy task, and has been focusing on the policy capacity by providing financial and policy support in parallel. We need to implement mid- to long-term measures to strengthen food security as well as to ensure domestic price stability. While increasing the domestic capacity to supply food in the mid- to long-term perspective, we are implementing projects to bring in crops which are inevitable to be imported by private companies. Specifically, we are making efforts to expand infrastructure for the public reserve and domestic production of wheat and beans which have low self-sufficiency rate, and to secure food sovereignty by providing support to secure global crop supply chain to private companies. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs plans to set a target for food self-sufficiency rate and prepare a policy to strengthen mid- to long-term food security by establishing a task force to strengthen mid- to long-term food security in the Ministry. Especially, although wheat is the second staple food, domestic wheat production and the foundation for the industry is poor. Compared to the wheat imports, domestic production of wheat is 30 thousand tons (self-sufficiency rate of 1%), leading to a vulnerable status against internal and external shocks. Through the establishment of the Wheat Industry Promotion Act (Feb. 2020) and the First Master Plan for Wheat Industry Promotion (Nov. 2020), the Korean government has developed a policy basis, and has been providing financial support in overall across the production, distribution and consumption process. In addition, the government established a production complex for Korean wheat and beans in order to supply affordable government-supplied commodities, provide education and consulting services, and create a high-quality stable production system, including facilities and equipment. We are also continuing to increase the public reserve for wheat and beans with the purpose of stable supply and demand as well as food security. The Korean government will establish and implement mid- to long-term measures to strengthen the foundation for domestic production across production, distribution and consumption process, and to stably secure global supply chain including through diversified import channels.
