In a context of fiscal consolidation and the need to deliver on a structural reform agenda, policy makers in Albania must not lose sight of the critical redistributive role of the fiscal system, particularly its impact on poverty and inequality. Using household survey data, this paper estimates the redistributive effect of fiscal policy on income distribution and poverty in Albania, assessing the individual and combined effects of taxes and public social spending. The findings show that the fiscal system in Albania plays a positive role in reducing inequality. Yet, it has a moderate poverty-increasing effect. Specifically, taxes and social protection contributions have a poverty-increasing effect; indirect taxes, particularly the value-added tax, account for the largest increases in poverty. This effect is somewhat compensated by direct government transfers, which are pro-poor and equalizing, but are not large enough to offset fully the negative impact on the taxation side. Ongoing reforms aimed at improving the efficiency and targeting of social assistance can contribute to enhancing the pro-poor impact of the fiscal system.

“…Goraus and Inchauste (2016) estimated that the poverty and inequality in Poland will fall as a result of the introduction of the Family 500+ program. Indirect taxes were also expected to increase, but the net effect on disposable income was estimated to be positive, relative to the situation in 2014 (Goraus and Inchauste, 2016).…”

“…The scheme consists of 500 PLN monthly transfer for every second and subsequent child under 18 years of age, regardless of income; one-child families face a means-test of per-capita net income of 800 PLN (1200 PLN if the child has disability), fully withdrawn above the threshold (MRPiPS, 2017). The transfer does not affect means-tested family benefit eligibility and contributes to lowering income inequality, relative and child poverty (Brzezinski & Najsztub, 2016;Goraus & Inchauste, 2016). Opposition parties raised objections regarding the fiscal sustainability of the measure, costed in 2017 at over 23 billion PLN, whereas other cash benefits combined amount to 11.4 billion PLN (see Figure 1).…”

Gender inequality by design: does successful implementation of childcare policy deliver gender-just outcomes?

The intractability of complex forms of gender inequality and the normalisation of gender equality policies on public policy agendas continue to challenge feminist research and activism concerned with gender-just outcomes. Through integrative multi-level analysis of policy design-implementation-outcomes building on the feminist policy implementation framework, this article illuminates how dominant discursive framing supports divergent policy approaches by different actors within state-institutional sites. Based on a decade of childcare policy implementation in Poland, the analysis shows that a shared family well-being frame is deployed by political actors to design and implement contrasting models for childcare. These have profound implications for the attainment of gender-just outcomes by sometimes challenging, but more frequently, reconstituting gender hierarchies. The policy design-implementation-outcome lens highlights the centrality of gender throughout the policy process and thus helps account for the persistence of inequalities through their construction and reconstruction. It also suggests that, politically, the policy effort can be deployed towards alternative processes and policies, and thus towards the attainment of gender-just outcomes.
