Optimal In-work Support and Employment in Ageing Societies – Britain and Germany Compared

5 March 2007. How would the current tax-benefit systems in Britain and Germany have to be reconstructed in order to allow the labour market to cope with ageing societies in these two countries? How could tax-benefit systems help to raise the level of employment by alleviating long-term unemployment, discouraging early retirement and raising the labour market participation of women? These vital policy questions are analysed by the authors. By Richard Blundell, Mike Brewer, James Browne, Peter Haan, Michal Myck and Viktor Steiner.
