Figure 4.20 presents the impact of taxes and transfers in reducing poverty, comparing NSW with jobless households. Households with non-standard workers see their poverty rates reduced by a third, from 34% to 22% on average. In comparison, taxes and transfers have a much larger impact on jobless households, halving their poverty rate from 76% to just 39% after taxes and transfers. The poverty-reducing impact of taxes and transfers for NSW households tends to be particularly large in Belgium, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
