Approach to cost-benefit analysis between supported employment and special employment centers through comparative simulation with 24 workers
Abstract
This work presents a cost-benefit analysis comparing supported employment (SE) with special employment center (EEC), from an individual, corporate and society perspective. A simulation was carried out with a sample of 24 workers in regular employment by SE and hypothetical data were obtained for the same workers as if they were in a similar job in EEC. The results show that SE workers, working the same amount of hours, have higher hourly earnings than in EEC (9.22 € compared to 4.59 €). The SE also generates less social burden from the company (22.21 %) than EEC (85.54 %). The Supported Employment’s payoff for society is much higher (315.03%) than that of the EEC (83.14%). Therefore, the conclusions of the study are directed towards the consideration that supported employment is more beneficial in terms of cost benefit for the individual, business and society when compared to the special employment centers.References
