abstract: 'The paper analyses changes in the generosity of public transfers to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unemployed and their effectiveness for the alleviation of poverty risks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in Germany and Great Britain between the 1990s and the 2000s. In the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
light of changing poverty risks among the unemployed, the contribution
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of policy changes is assessed using individual-level data on household
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
incomes. The results indicate that the introduction and expansion of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tax credit programmes in Britain led to an increase of public transfers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
especially for those with low household market incomes and thereby also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
improved the effectiveness of transfers in combating poverty. In
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Germany, the generosity of transfers to the unemployed hardly changed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
over time, whereas the effectiveness of transfers to prevent households
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from falling into poverty declined. This can be explained by changes in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the composition of the unemployed by recent labour force participation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and household market incomes. As former labour market insiders are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consistently better protected from poverty than former outsiders, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
results confirm the stratified nature of unemployment protection in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Germany, albeit no significant trend towards increasing dualisation in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
public benefits is found. Thus, the results do not support notions of a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fundamental shift of the system of unemployment protection with respect
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the generosity of transfers in Germany but emphasise the importance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of changes in the German labour market.'
