Impact of Redistribution on the Poorest Quintile in the Netherlands (2020)
The effect of government redistribution in the Netherlands in 2020 is clearly demonstrated by its impact on the poorest households. The lowest-earning 20% of the population, who earned only 3.3% of the total market income, saw their share increase to 7.1% of the total disposable income after taxes and transfers. This illustrates how fiscal policy can significantly boost the economic standing of low-income groups.
