Making Sliding Scale Model Work in third world countrie
2 RepliesMost third world countries have the same income pattern, just two -one is either rich or poor and the gap keeps widening every day. A way to checkmate this disparity is to make the rich pay for the poor's education/healthcare/upkeep without knowing it. one major way of addressing it is usually by desin=gning the model in such a way that it wets the ego of the rich or appeal to the religious affiliation

totally agree. Third World countries mostly but as said the sliding scale model can vary according to community incomes such in case the area targeted start to have boost of monthly income provided by a NGO Governments incentive still will be some disparities but this model adapted well to such situation.

Aljazzari, you made a point. The Pay As You Earn system of taxation in vogue in many developing countries is a way of making the rich to pay for the poor.

very true but this could work well if there is political will by the government. private entities would have difficulties if they do not have a good source of account especially if the product they are selling is new on the market.
This has worked well in the healthcare sector were civil servants are required to contribute towards health scheme and the rest access health care service for free. -
I totally agree that this model can be a way to address the issue but in many developing countries, corruption is the order of the day. Rather than the rich helping the poor, they want more, even what belongs to the poor. So, the rich gets richer while the poor gets poorer.
