In this context, and with a view to ending unemployment, inactivity and low-pay traps by adjusting the balance between tax and benefits, the Employment Taskforce has underlined the need for Member States to: – supplement low wages, where necessary, through the use of in-work benefits, as an incentive for workers to accept low-paid jobs, while maintaining wages at a level reflecting productivity, – ensure that income-dependent benefits (such as family or housing allowances) fulfil their role of alleviating poverty without constituting a disincentive to take up a job, – move from family-based income taxation systems to taxation systems based on individual income, – make part-time work financially more attractive for parents or lone parents wishing to combine family with working life, and older workers wishing to combine gradual retirement with part-time work.
