Benefit size has been shown to be the main driver of the redistributive effect of transfers and the tax-benefit system as a whole. Table 7 shows average benefit payments received by households headed by younger and prime-age individuals (15-54) as a percentage of the payments received by all “working-age households” (15-64). Benefit rates for the 15-54 year-olds are lower than for the 54-64 year-olds in all countries.
