Is a progressive tax system or social transfers in the form of direct cash benefits a more effective tool in the fight against income inequality?
Dear Researchers, Scientists, Friends,
Rising income inequality calls for redistribution measures. These can be implemented by increasing tax progression or by a system of direct social transfers targeting the poorest social groups. For the purposes of this discussion, I have formulated the following research thesis: a progressive tax system can effectively reduce inequality, but it can also discourage work and investment. On the other hand, social transfers quickly improve the material situation of the poorest, but they can lead to dependence on aid and reduce the motivation to be professionally active. In view of the above, the study should include an analysis of the effectiveness of both instruments in terms of reducing inequality indicators (e.g. the Gini coefficient), the impact on the state budget and social consequences. It will also be important to examine which of these solutions better supports social mobility and how it affects the economy in the long term.
