ResumenObjeto: Analizar y estudiar si las políticas sociales de bienestar repercuten en la eficacia y eficiencia de las empresas que prestan servicios a las personas con dependencia (Código CNAE 87 y 88).Diseño/metodología/enfoque: Para la realización del estudio se han comparado las empresas de los sectores que dan servicios en países que presentan pautas diferentes a la hora de aplicar determinadas políticas sociales. En concreto se han comparado las empresas que actúan en España, Alemania, Inglaterra y los Países Bajos. Los datos se han obtenido a partir de la base de datos AMADEUS. Se ha tomado como período de referencia el 2008-2012. Las variables utilizadas han sido la tasa de margen operativo (TMO) y la tasa de rotación de activos (TRA). Aportaciones y resultados:De los resultados obtenidos no se ha podido establecer una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la eficacia y eficiencia de las empresas que prestan servicios a personas con dependencia y las políticas sociales desarrolladas desde los gobiernos.Originalidad / Valor añadido: : Hasta el presente existen pocos estudios sobre el comportamiento financiero de las empresas que prestan servicios a la tercera edad. El desarrollo empresarial de estas actividades implica un crecimiento de la actividad económica que compensa los costes que comporta el crecimiento de la población.

“…The society's contribution to the HSSE, accounting for about 30% of current revenue, is out of its control. Following Abe (2007), the contribution of a given society ( C i ) is determined in principle as follows: the ratio of the national average of beneficiaries to the total insured ( B N /N N ) to the proportion in the society ( B i /N i ) × the proportion of per capita medical expenditure of beneficiary in the society to the national average ( E i /E N ) × a constant parameter ( p ) determined by the national trend in ageing and medical expenditure of HSSE beneficiaries. That is, .…”

“…Abe (2007) considered whether a society faced with a heavy contribution would do so, but could find no supporting evidence. This implies that the contribution is uncontrolled by the society and is exogenous to the determination of the premium rate.…”

“…society could decrease its contribution if it reduced the medical expenditure of beneficiaries belonging to the society or increased the proportion of its beneficiaries relative to the national average. 7 Abe (2007) considered whether a society faced with a heavy contribution would do so, but could find no supporting evidence. This implies that the contribution is uncontrolled 4 The monthly remuneration includes various allowances, including a commuting allowance, a family allowance, and a housing allowance along with the basic salary, but does not include either bonuses or social security premiums that an employer bears.…”

How Do Japanese Health Insurance Societies Finance Their Contributions to the Health Service Systems for the Elderly?*

We examine how Japanese health insurance societies finance (or distribute) the costs (or cost savings) from an increase (or decrease) in contributions to the Health Service Systems for the Elderly. Three ways are possible: (i) adjusting the premiums of the employee or employer; (ii) providing an optional benefit; and (iii) adjusting reserves by the change in contribution. We find that more than six‐sevenths of the changes are associated with changes in reserves, followed by premiums, and finally optional benefits. The increase in the premium mostly shifted to employees, while employees enjoyed a nearly 60% decrease in total premium.
