Abstract

[eng] Redistributive Effects of the "CSG", . by Réjane Hugounenq, José Sastre Descals.. . The social contribution for all ("CSG") funds part of social security by taxation and fits into the framework of redistributive logic. The mechanics of redistribution generated by the "CSG" is first analyzed, highlighting the key role played by marginal rates. Using simulations run on a sample of households representative of the French population, the direct redistributive effects of the "CSG" on disposable income of households are measured. Inequality indicators are used to assess how effective this reform is as far as its objective of social justice is concerned. The "CSG" proves to be a socially dominant reform where the dimensions of redistribution that are taken into account are simultaneously income and family size. Lastly, the redistributive effect of a "CSG" increase is compared to that of an increase in the wage-earner's national health contribution. [spa] Efectos redistributivos de la CSG, . por Réjane Hugounenq y José Sastre Descals.. . La contribución social generalizada (CSG) fiscaliza una parte de la financiación de la Seguridad Social y forma parte de una lógica redistributiva. En primer lugar se analiza el mecanismo de redistributión generado por la CSG, poniendo de relieve la funtiôón central de los tipos impositivos marginales. Acto seguido, se evalúan los efectos redistributivos directos de la CSG sobre el ingreso disponible de los hogares por medio de simulaciones efectuadas con una muestra representativa de la poblatión francesa. Con objeto de apreciar la eficatia de esta reforma, por lo que respecta a su objetivo social, se utilizan diversos indicadores de desigualdad. La CSG resulta una reforma de predominancia social cuando se toma en cuenta simultáneamente el ingreso y el tamaño de la familia, como factores de la redistribución. Por último se compara el efecto redistributivo de un aumento de la CSG y el efecto del aumento de la cotización salarial de seguro de enfermedad. [ger] Die Umverteilungsftunktion der allgemeinen Sozialabgabe, . von Réjane Hugounenq, José Sastre Descais.. . Die allgemeine Sozialabgabe stellt einen Teil der Finanzierung der Sozialversicherung auf fiskalischem Wege sicher und wirkt sich im Sinne einer Umverteilungslogik aus. Eingangs wird der von der allgemeinen Sozialabgabe bewirkte Umverteilungsmechanismus analysiert : die zentrale Rolle der Grenzsätze wird herausgestellt. Danach wird durch Simulationen, die auf der Basis von Stichprobenerhebungen repräsentativer privater Haushalte der französischen Bevölkerung durchgeführt werden, die direkte Umverteilungsfunktion der allgemeinen Sozialabgabe hinsichtlich der ausgabefähigen Einkommen der privaten Haushalte eingeschätzt. Ungleichheitsindikatoren werden dazu verwendet, die Wirksamkeit dieser Reform nach Massgabe sozialer Gerechtigkeit zu beurteilen. Die allgemeine Sozialabgabe erweist sich als eine Reform hochgradiger sozialer Wirkkraft, wenn Einkommen und Familiengrösse gleichzeitig als Umverteilungsdimensionen berücksichtigt werden.Zum Abschluss wird die Umverteilungsfunktion einer Anhebung der allgemeinen Sozialabgabe mit der Erhöhung der Krankenversicherungsabgaben der Arbeitnehmer verglichen. [fre] Effets redistributifs de la cotisation sociale généralisée, . par Réjane Hugounenq, José Sastre Descals.. . La contribution sociale généralisée (CSG) fiscalise une partie du financement de la Sécurité sociale et s'inscrit dans une logique redistributive. Le mécanisme de redistribution généré par la CSG est d'abord analysé : le rôle central des taux marginaux est mis en lumière. Puis, à l'aide de simulations effectuées sur un échantillon de ménages représentatifs de la population française, les effets redistributifs directs de la CSG sur le revenu disponible des ménages sont évalués. Des indicateurs d'inégalité sont utilisés pour juger de l'efficacité de cette réforme quant à son objectif de justice sociale. La CSG se révèle être une réforme socialement dominante lorsque les dimensions de la redistribution prises en compte sont simultanément le revenu et la taille familiale. Enfin, on compare l'effet redistributif d'une augmentation de la CSG à celui de l'augmentation de la cotisation salariale d'assurance-maladie.
