abstract: 'In recent decades, many affluent democracies moved from traditional
|
||||
|
||||
welfare states to workfare systems. Meanwhile, income inequality
|
||||
|
||||
developed differently across countries, even when they made apparently
|
||||
|
||||
similar shifts from welfare to workfare. It is a matter of debate why
|
||||
|
||||
welfare state change had such heterogeneous consequences across
|
||||
|
||||
countries. This article proposes that different incentives to take up
|
||||
|
||||
low-wage work set by tax reforms in the wake of welfare-to-workfare
|
||||
|
||||
transitions alter consequences on inequality in the lower half of the
|
||||
|
||||
income distribution. To support this argument, we contrast the trends
|
||||
|
||||
between the U.S. and Germany. The German and U.S. tax systems were used
|
||||
|
||||
in very different ways to incentivize low-wage work. The U.S. provided
|
||||
|
||||
strong incentives to take up low-wage, high-hour work through refundable
|
||||
|
||||
tax credits. They act as in-work subsidies and represent an enormous
|
||||
|
||||
public income support program. In contrast, in Germany, payroll taxes
|
||||
|
||||
were reduced for marginal employment. These jobs were intended to serve
|
||||
|
||||
as a stepping stone to full employment. Germany aimed to reduce barriers
|
||||
|
||||
to labor market entry, but did not increase subsidies for those working
|
||||
|
||||
higher hours in low-wage jobs. We hypothesize that the German path led
|
||||
|
||||
to increased income inequality within the lower half of the income
|
||||
|
||||
distribution, whereas the large U.S. tax-based subsidies in the U.S.
|
||||
|
||||
significantly counteracted it. Decompositions of unconditional quantile
|
||||
|
||||
regressions based on the SOEP and the CPS-ASEC for 1992 and 2014
|
||||
|
||||
strongly support these assumptions. Households with no labor market
|
||||
|
||||
integration lost ground with the workfare reforms in both countries,
|
||||
|
||||
increasing inequality in the lower half. However, U.S. households that
|
||||
|
||||
conformed to the new workfare system by taking low-wage jobs received
|
||||
|
||||
additional after-tax income through tax cuts and credits. This
|
||||
|
||||
additional income of the beneficiary households increased the percentile
|
||||
|
||||
values between the 10th and 30th percentiles by about 6 per cent, thus
|
||||
|
||||
reducing income inequality in the lower half. Germany, on the contrary,
|
||||
|
||||
lacked such compensatory subsidies for compliant households. Thus,
|
||||
|
||||
increased takeup of low-wage work was associated with an increase in
|
||||
|
||||
income inequality in the lower half. We conclude that tax systems are
|
||||
|
||||
important in understanding why the shift towards workfare was associated
|
||||
|
||||
with heterogeneous trends in income inequality across countries.'
