Social Spending, Taxes And Income Redistribution In Uruguay, Maximo Rossi, Nora Lustig, Marisa Bucheli, Florencia Amabile
Maximo Rossi
How much redistribution does Uruguay accomplish through social spending and taxes? How progressive are revenue collection and social spending? A standard fiscal incidence analysis shows that Uruguay achieves a nontrivial reduction in inequality and poverty when all taxes and transfers are combined. In comparison with other five countries in Latin America, it ranks first (poverty reduction) and second (inequality reduction), and first in terms of poverty reduction effectiveness and third in terms of overall (including ransfers in kind) inequality reduction effectiveness. Direct taxes are progressive and indirect taxes are regressive. Social spending on direct transfers, contributory pensions, education and health …

The probability of being depressed is higher, the lower the religious diversity. Other personal socio-economic variables have the expected and documented …

Maximo Rossi
This article analyzes the attitude of the Uruguayans towards the subjection to the law in the prosecution and punishment of offenders.

Having been victimized in recent months, feeling unsafe in their neighborhood and …
