Depending on the indicator, in-kind benefits as a whole reduce income inequality by between one-fifth (on the basis of the Gini coefficient) and one-third (using alternative inequality measures, which give more weight to the bottom and the top of the income distribution). The United Kingdom and, according to other inequality measures, the United States, Portugal and Mexico record higher reduction rates, while Slovenia records lower ones. Because of their sheer size, benefits from total education and health have by far the largest inequality reduction potential. However, for beneficiaries (social renters) the service can make a big difference, especially as it is targeted more on low-income groups.
