Abstract [eng] |
Income inequality still is a sensitive topic in the Lithuanian economy. Lithuania, according to the indicators of income inequality, still is at the bottom of European Union even though the situation is improving. In recent years, the main way to solve the problem of income inequality in Lithuania was to change the benefits policy, which is aimed at solving this problem, but no decisions are made to change the tax policy. These decisions are avoided because they are complex, can have a negative impact on other economic factors and, of course, negative public opinion and opposition is avoided. |
