Recent studies find no redistribution paradox. Targeting correlates with higher redistribution in the 2000s, possibly due to hybrid programs (e.g., negative income taxes) or welfare state evolution.

Therefore, encouraging social trust and unity.


- greater political and public support due to the middle class benefiting aswell, making redistribution more sustainable.


- simplified processes as complex eligibility assessments are unnecessary.

The thing about universal systems is that they benefit everybody. How? They make processes more efficient.

Social expenditures strongly predict redistribution (Jacques & Noël 2018, p. 79).

    Universalistic policies can be less efficient at addressing inequality because they don’t specifically target those who are more in need.
