The quintile shares and concentration coefficients reported in table 2 suggests that in Latin America (but similar results are obtained in other regions) all components of social expenditure are less concentrated than private income. Expenditures on primary education and social assistance are found to be strongly progressive, and those on secondary education and health care mildly progressive or proportional. Similarly, social security outlays (for example, pensions and unemployment benefits) are not progressive as they focus on formal sector workers.
