Abstract

A tanulmány a munkanélküli-ellátások két csoportjának (1. munkanélküli-járadék, álláskeresési és átképzési támogatás, valamint a 2. rendszeres szociális segély) célzását vizsgálta a KSH 2004. évi jövedelemfelvételének adatain. Azt találtuk, hogy a kétféle munkanélküli-ellátás viszonylag jól céloz: a támogatások inkább a jövedelemeloszlás alján elhelyezkedőknek jutnak, bár a felső jövedelmi csoportok is részesednek belőlük, és a jövedelemeloszlás legalját kevéssé érik el. A jövedelem-újraelosztási gyakorlatok eredményei arról tanúskodnak, hogy e támogatások megvonása jelentősen rontaná a legalsó jövedelmi pozíciókban lévők helyzetét (s emelné a szegénységi rátát), továbbá változatlan összegű támogatások újraelosztása a legalsó jövedelmi csoportok javára javíthatná a jövedelemeloszlás alsó régiójában elhelyezkedők helyzetét, és mérsékelné a szegénységi rátát. A tanulmány második részében a rendszeres szociális segélyhez jutás valószínűségét elemezve, azt láttuk, hogy azok, akik esetében a jövedelemkritériumok teljesülnek, nagyobb eséllyel jutnak hozzá rendszeres segélyhez. A munkanélküliek jövedelmi státusán kívül a helyi munkaerő-piaci helyzet gyakorol erőteljes hatást a rendszeres szociális segélyhez jutás valószínűségére: magasabb munkanélküliségi ráta mellett az egyének nagyobb eséllyel részesülnek e támogatásból.
