Economic incentives in public health policy
Original language description
This article is aimed at the role of selected pricing interventions as a public policy. It analyses various economic incentives that all have in common one goal. Reduction of overweight and obesity in the population. First of all the connection between non-communicable diseases and eating and drinking habits is established, then various roles of the actors such as individuals, companies and the state or the government are looked at in connection with economic incentives as well as the legal environment in which they take place. Then the article analyses the efficiency of various selected incentives designed to change the eating and drinking habits of the population with the aim of lower health care costs as well as healthier hence happier population. Incentives in a form of a tax on selected items in any form has lots of supporters as well as lots of opponents. What is important to realize is not necessarily the primary impact on consumers but the impact on producers. They are the bearers of most of the costs connected with such an incentive but if we look closer, it is very important to realize that the way most of them handle the situation is by lowering the amount of the targeted tem in the product in order to avoid the burden of the tax. Hence leading to healthier choice options for individuals.
