Abstract
We analyse the extent and evolution of income inequality in Serbia and
examine factors that may have contributed to the high and rising inequality.
Specifically, using data from the 2013 Survey of Income and Living
Conditions, we focus on two issues: the effect of the quantity and quality of
household members’ employment on the earnings of low-wage workers, and the
role of taxes and social transfers in redistributing income from the
betteroff to the poor. The results suggest that income inequality, measured
by the Gini coefficient, has significantly increased in Serbia over the
period of economic crisis, reaching 38.7 in 2013. The examined causes of such
a high inequality are the high rate of low work intensity of household
members and the high proportion of people working in non-standard forms of
employment (i.e., part-time, temporary, and self-employment arrangements),
mostly in the informal sector. In addition, the low coverage of social
transfers, particularly monetary social assistance and child benefits, and
the very low level of progressivity of the Serbian personal tax system
explain the relatively modest - by international standards - redistributive
role of direct taxes and social transfers.
