Opis (eng)

Abstract Based on the Serbian Survey of Income and Living Conditions (SILC) and tax-benefits andstructural micro-simulation models, we evaluate the labour supply and distributive effects ofseveral reform strategies concerning two major social transfers in Serbia: child allowance andsocial monetary assistance. Our results show that, in a context of a low labour participation rate,and high unemployment and informality rates, a benefit strategy is by far the more cost-effectiveoption for reducing child poverty than an employment strategy that aims to raise the workincentives for parents. Both proposed reforms are found to be progressive.
