Is a proposed change in public policy more likely to be able to meet the Pareto efficiency criterion or the Kaldor-Hicks criterion? Briefly explain. DRAFT/ STUDY TIPS: Title: Evaluating Public Policy Changes: Pareto Efficiency vs. Kaldor-Hicks Criterion Introduction: In the intricate realm of public policy analysis, two prominent criteria have emerged as frameworks for evaluating the potential impacts and desirability of proposed changes: the Pareto efficiency criterion and the Kaldor-Hicks criterion. These criteria serve as guiding principles for assessing the distribution of costs and benefits among members of society, offering distinct perspectives on what constitutes an improvement in resource allocation and overall societal welfare. While the Pareto efficiency criterion sets a stringent standard by requiring that no individual is made worse off, the Kaldor-Hicks criterion adopts a more flexible approach, allowing for potential gainers to hypothetically compensate the losers. Thesis: Given the inherent trade-offs and real-world complexities involved in public policy decisions, a proposed change in public policy is more likely to meet the Kaldor-Hicks criterion than the Pareto efficiency criterion. The Kaldor-Hicks criterion offers greater practical applicability and acknowledges the possibility of redistributive measures to enhance overall societal welfare, making it a more pragmatic and relevant framework for evaluating policy changes in the face of competing interests and resource constraints.

🌍 Today, on #International Waste Picker's Day, let's shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes of environmental #sustainability - the waste pickers. These individuals are the backbone of our waste management systems, contributing immensely to keeping our communities clean and green. Viksit Bharat needs to recognise them and stand for their rights, because they are the silent guardians of our environment and have Basic fundamental Rights.🌱 𝐔𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥: 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 ‘𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞’ The urgent need is a waste picker welfare law recognizing their profession and safeguarding their rights. Such a law should include provisions for identification cards, subsidised gear, and the creation of a nodal body for their welfare. Establishing waste picker member-based organizations (MBOs) and their inclusion in social welfare schemes are crucial steps.

Our initiatives strive to achieve a wide health coverage which would facilitate access to quality healthcare services, as reaffirmed under target 3.8 of UN SDG #3. In celebrating World Health & Safety Day, we first ask ourselves what it is to be an ethical employer and how best we can safeguard our employees.
