Economics / Economics | | English term or phrase: lifeline-tariff | Es geht hier um subventionierte Preise für z. B. Stromversorgung im volkswirtschaftlichen Kontext (Infrastrukturpolitik):
Since there can be problems with targeting lifeline tariffs for the poor
(even the nonpoor receive subsidies), policymakers
need to decide whether they wish to err on the side of
exclusion or inclusion.
Danke für die Hilfe! |
| | | Sozialtarif | Explanation:
Dieser Begriff wird in der deutschen Sprache allerdings nur im Zusammenhang mit der Telecom bei vergünstigten Telefonanschlüssen für sozial Bedürftige verwendet.
Im arabischen Raum findet der Term "lifeline-tariff" auch Verwendung bei der Wasserversorgung:
We should replicate the good practices, like the lifeline tariff in Durban where low-income communities are given a fixed volume of water a day for which they pay an affordable amount. |

1 hr confidence:   Niedrigtarif
Explanation:
or even Billigtarif. These are the first terms that come to my mind--maybe they work in this context. None of my dictionaries has " "lifeline tariff".
