Changed from:
"Pensioner households have also, on average, fared relatively badly in France. This is particularly true in the
bottom half of the income distribution, where pensioners have lost similar amounts (as a share of their
income) to higher-income pensioners. This is in contrast to working-age families with children, where there
have been gains (on average) among those in the bottom half of the income distribution (compared with
losses among working-age families with children in the top half of the income distribution)."
To:
"In France, pensioner households have been less affected than the average population, while households
with children have fared relatively badly, especially those in work and in the upper half of the income
distribution. Households where no adult is in work have been largely protected. This is mainly because of the
decrease in the cap of the quotient familial, the income tax reductions that children can provide.”
