This explains why such reforms are found to be good for equity only under weak inequality aversion levels (Table 4). Future reforms could be better designed in this respect: social protection and labour market reforms to remove disincentives to work should be accompanied by reforms to promote quality jobs, preventing in-work poverty and helping people stay in work and advance in their careers. This can be achieved by well-targeted ALMPs and training programmes, including lifelong learning, with a view to raising employability and pay prospects among those with low skills and the long-term unemployed.
