What affects the impact of taxes & benefits on income inequality?
• Redistributive impact of taxes and benefits dependent on two factors:
Relative sizeRelative size of the tax or benefit as a proportion of income = average tax/benefit rate
ProgressivityHow targeted the tax/benefit is towards reducing inequality
Since the late 1990s, the progressivity of cash benefits has decreased…

Summary: The effects of taxes and benefits
• Cash benefits play a large role in reducing income inequality.
• Since the late 1990s, the progressivity of cash benefits has decreased, meaning that they have become less targeted towards reducing inequality.
• However, the average amount households receive in cash benefits as a proportion of their income increased for much of that time. Therefore, until relatively recently, their overall effect on reducing inequality was increasing slightly.
• Direct taxes also reduce income inequality. Indirect taxes such as VAT, however, are regressive, leading to increasing inequality. These effects largely cancel each other out, meaning taxes (direct & indirect) have little effect on inequality overall.
Median income of retired households rose by 7.7% (£1,500) between 2007/08 and 2014/15

Summary – Retired households
• Income of retired households rose by 7.7% in real terms between 2007/08 and 2014/15.
• This is in part due to increasing income from private pensions. However, figures on current employees with workplace pensions suggests this trend could change in future.
• Low income retired households relatively likely to be owner occupiers, and more generally many older people with low incomes have relatively high levels of wealth.
Median income of non-retired households in 2014/15 remained 3.1% (£900) below pre-downturn level

Public Policy Forum'Understanding Household Inequalities'
Peter Matejic, Head of Poverty Analysis and Horizon Scanning20 April 2016
51Department for Work & Pensions
The role of my team
My team:• leads analysis of low income and living
standards across DWP.• works with statistics producers to QA a range
of national and EU statistics.• prepares regular and ad hoc briefing on
poverty and inequality.• produces horizon scanning analysis around
particular cross cutting issues to look at future challenges that policymakers may not be aware of.
52Department for Work & Pensions
DWP data sources we use
Many of the key inequalities data sources we use are produced by DWP:• FRS-based publications
– HBAI for income distribution, inequality and low income statistics
– Pensioner Income Series– Take up of Income Related benefits
• Currently Quality Assuring publications covering 2014/15 for publication in May / June 2016
• Will be bringing forward publication to February / March 2017 for 2015/16 data, and introducing a new publication analysing persistence of low income.
53Department for Work & Pensions
The value of ONS data – household incomes and inequalityONS cross-cutting commentaries and publications add
hugely to understanding in the area. Key questions ONS have considered here include:
• What is the relationship between income and wealth inequality and how do policies affect this
• How do survey-based data marry up with National Accounts and other sources
• How does tax (direct and indirect) and benefits (cash and in-kind) affect inequality?
• How has this varied over time and for different groups?• What happened before the FRS started?

Using ONS analysis – characteristics of over-indebted households.
It is hard for these families to regain financial stability….
… and the resulting stress is bad for parents’ and children’s outcomes
Making excessive debt repayments
OR
Currently in arrears
They report debt to be a heavy burden
Analysis using WAS data suggests that the number of households behind on bills or making excessive debt repayments has fallen.
However, the number of households that consider their debt to be a heavy burden has remained constant.
We in DWP have used the Wealth and Assets Survey (WAS) to explore the characteristics of over-indebted households. We have considered the objective and subjective aspects of over-indebtedness
55Department for Work & Pensions
Using ONS analysis – understanding automatic enrolment• Automatic enrolment is the largest change to workplace pensions for
a generation. There is a public commitment to fully evaluate the effects of the reforms.
• WAS is a vital data source for assessing the awareness, understanding and effectiveness of the policy aim of increasing workplace pension saving by £15 billion (2015/16 earnings terms).
56Department for Work & Pensions
Using ONS analysis – understanding automatic enrolment• WAS’ longitudinal design can uniquely monitor changes in asset
accumulation / decumulation / savings types / problem debt in the GB population over the lifecourse. This will crucially help policymakers understand the impacts of automatic enrolment and individual saving patterns.
• WAS’ wider attitudinal information will help policymakers understand the characteristics of individuals where the policy has worked to incentivise saving, and those groups where it has not.
• WAS analysis will continue to feed into the annual evaluation reports and internal monitoring of the programme. It will be a key tool for informing the review of this policy planned for the end of implementation in 2017.
57Department for Work & Pensions
Using ONS analysis – understanding Pensions Flexibilities• Since April 2015, the 320,000 people who retire each year with
defined contribution pensions have had complete choice over how they access their pension.
• WAS is the only source available for assessing individuals’ pension wealth, and is split by pot size and pot value.
• Our team have worked extensively with ONS to improve future waves of the questionnaire, to capture detailed information from individuals to inform on the policy, and ensuring future waves are fit for purpose.
• Future analysis on the wealth individuals hold at retirement, split by many personal factors, will be very useful to give a greater understanding of the decumulation landscape post-flexibilities.
• The choices which individuals make with their individual pots (split by pot size) with regards to decumulation options is a key evaluation area of the policy – to understand the effectiveness and uptake. WAS is an invaluable source here.
58Department for Work & Pensions
Using ONS analysis – understanding Pensions Flexibilities• Preliminary estimates
from WAS using attitudinal data are also available, at timely intervals.
• Indicators on the safest way to save for retirement, pensions understanding, reasons for not saving into a pension, expected age of retirement, awareness of automatic enrolment and confidence in retirement incomes have all been measured.
59Department for Work & Pensions
Working together
• DWP supports the key developments described here• In particular, we think it is important to:
– Ensure information is accessible to the widest possible audience using innovative presentations and visualisations
– Make sure we are as coherent as possible in messaging.Can’t have every piece of information from a single sourceHence for different questions, different sources are best.But comparing results across different sources important
– We agreed that timeliness of results importantBut need to ensure quality and effective communications are
also prioritised
