Reform of Transfer Withdrawal Rates and Improving Incentives to Work
Reform of Transfer Withdrawal Rates and Improving Incentives to Work
Period:
01.02. – 30.11.2023
The federal government wants to change the employment allowances for recipients of basic social security benefits in such a way as to strengthen labor supply incentives and avoid the sometimes very high effective marginal burdens that exist in the status quo. Within the framework of this research project, cornerstones for a possible further reform of the employment allowances will be developed. In this context, not only changes in the transfer deduction rates in the citizen's income will be considered, but also the entire system of basic of mini-jobs and the transition area from benefit receipt to non-benefit receipt.
