Complexity Questioned: Can Family Allowances Be Simplified? by Cédric Afsa
Family allowances are remarkably complex. With their many objectives, they do not always have easily identifiable effects on aspects detached from the family domain. Moreover, their number and obscure allocation and calculation rules due to their abundance mean that the system is not easy to comprehend. The fact that families do not understand it could eventually have devastating effects on social cohesion. It is therefore crucial that it be simplified. At the same time, the ideal of an extremely simple and purely family-oriented benefit system is not only a pipedream, but also dangerous as it would seriously disrupt the efficiency, equity and unity of the welfare policy. A middle ground therefore needs to be found in a system reform that eliminates its complexity to make its different components and the links between them visible and legible.
