Annotation
The paper investigates work disincentives imposed by the income maintenance system in unemployment and focuses on the relationship between them and household characteristics. The role of the minimum living standard is discussed. It seems that the system is more generous towards larger families with children. Indeed, according to gross probabilities between 1998 and 1999 the unemployed social assistance recipients with children had much lower outflow to employment.
