The UK inwork benefits were significantly more generous than the EITC, with per-family expenditures on average about four times as high in the early 2000s. While many other OECD countries have introduced some form of in-work benefit in recent years, their sizes and their redistributive impact are currently small so they are not covered here in detail (see Immervoll and Pearson, 2009). Unlike out-of-work benefits discussed above, other types of child-related support (family benefits, Annex Table A5) have also become significantly more generous since the mid-1980s. In Australia, Germany and Japan, benefit amounts per child have risen more strongly than earnings levels, while the United Kingdom and United States have introduced new child-related tax credits.
