[DSD_TAXBEN_PTR@DF_PTRCCUB] Effective tax rates on taking up work when claiming unemployment benefits and using childcare services
Updated by provider on April 14, 2025 (2:57 PM).
This indicator measures the financial disincentives to participate in the labour market for a jobseeker claiming unemployment benefits. It calculates the proportion of earnings that are lost to either higher taxes, lower benefits and net childcare costs when a parent with young children takes up full-time employment and uses full-time centre-based childcare. This indicators is calculated assuming that the jobseeker claims unemployment insurance and/or unemployment assistance benefits when s/he is out of work.
The calculations assume 2 children aged 2 and 3, both attending a childcare centre full-time. [REF_AREA] Reference area
