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