Airbags effects on economy
The effects of airbags towards our economy is vary because it depends on the person's background, like jobs, alone, with family, and etc. The reason is because depending on the situation, airbags can benefit a person, while it will drawback the others. Because of this, human will be split into 2 groups of people, the person who got into accident and the person who help (mechanic and insurance company). There are also short term and long term effects and they will be split also so it's possible to compare the two.
People involves in accidentLower Insurance Rates for Cars with Passenger Airbags - This will extremly help owner of cars, especially those who can't afford to pay for the damage due to not enough money at the time, and etc. This will help them with their life because they really need the money, allowing them to have more income. Then it'll become a cycle, owners pays insurance, insurance become bigger, insurance helps with accident, and owners earn money normally. (Short and Long terms)
The Need to Reset Airbags - This only affect those owners who do not own car insurance or the car insurance don't cover for the airbags. After an airbags has been deployed, the owners needed to return it, however it's not easy to do so. For most people, they will need to pay for mechanic to reset the airbags and it's not cheap at all. A website suggested that it'll cost the following:
Life Saved - This will affect all of the people who involve in car accidents. It's true that most of the time airbags saved the life of the one who land on it. This allows them to earn more money, contribute to the society (if the person makes an object), pay for taxes, and etc. It's quite similar to the cycle, person earns, spends, receives, and repeat. (Short terms) Potential Injuries - This again affect all of the peopel who involve in car accidents. When using an airbags, there is a possibility of the person getting injured and some of the are major. Depending on the role of the person in the family or society, the person can affec the economy. In most cases, when a person gets a major injury, the person can't get to work which means the person can't earn any money. The family will then go to economy crisis, which may lead to debt, robbery, and etc, which will affect the economy of many. (Short and Long terms) |
people who helpsMechanics Get Extra Salary - Depending on where the mechanics work, some workshops will give extra salary when the mechanics received certain amount of money. One way to do this is from resetting airbags as it's quite rewarding for the workshop which get the chance to reset them, especially when a big accident occured. Mechanics probably just need some tools and knowledge on the airbags to reset it and it's easy money for them as they don't need to do extra work and materials. (Short terms)
Insurance Agents Get Extra Salary - Depending on the insurance agencies, some agencies will give tips/extra salary to their agents. It's based on how many people they recruited during specific time frame. The chances of them of getting this is high as owners who have cars with passenger airbags will get charged less than others who don't. It'll be easy for the agents to earn more money as owners will be tempted to get the insurance. (Short terms) Hospital Receive More Patients - The hospitals which are closests to a car accident will receive more patients. The reason is because airbags is not entirely safe and it'll still injure if the person was improperly positioned during the hit. Patients will come in to check on their chest, neck, brain, and etc. This of course will make the hospital and its' staffs to gain more money and it's almost guarantee if the person has insurance. More patients = more income. (Short terms) |
