However, the finding of little tension between technology diffusion and income equality may also reflect the tendency for redistribution policies to have at least partially contained the disequalising effect of technology on post taxes and transfer income, on average across the OECD over the period under consideration. This could signal future challenges to redistribution systems and potential trade-offs between growth, equity and fiscal objectives. This is driven by higher employment and productivity. These findings would suggest that reforms in this area boost growth without raising trade-offs with equity objectives, irrespective of the level of inequality aversion (Table 4).
