The Savings/Harm Tableau for Social Impact Assessment of Retrenchment Policies
提出一种储蓄/伤害表格式,用于评估不同紧缩方案的预期影响,帮助政策官员和公民团体确定伤害最小的解决方案,并给出实现公共服务储蓄和测量服务影响的政策建议。
A savings/harm tableau is proposed for explicit evaluation of alternative retrenchment proposals and their expected impacts. The format should also be useful for collecting and recording information essential to policy officials and citizen groups in determining least harmful solutions to retrenchment. The method parallels cost-effectiveness and goals-achievement procedures but is targeted to the distributional effects of austerity efforts. Some recommendations are provided about policy options for achieving savings in the provision of public services and the measurement of service impacts.
