How can poverty reduction be improved and at what cost? Available evidence suggests that social investment strategies … and employment policies are important but not sufficient. In order to reduce the number of people below the relative at-risk-of-poverty … paper we show that this is not a cheap option. We calculate the hypothetical cost of closing the poverty gap while …

This paper analyses the effectiveness of tax-benefit systems in reducing poverty and inequality across 13 countries in … to poverty and inequality. Additionally, we assess gender disparities in outcomes, quantify the distributional effects of … the Global South. Using national survey data and tax-benefit microsimulation models from the SOUTHMOD project, we provide …

To measure these three dimensions, we use EUROMOD, the tax-benefit microsimulation model for the EU. We … support also reduces poverty intensity and incidence, although not to a large extent. …

In the first scenario a modest level of guaranteed minimum income is feasible, decreasing both poverty and … unrealistically high tax rates, especially for Italy. The impact on poverty and inequality of the HNIT scheme is markedly higher for …
