520    This paper presents results of an on-going joint European 
       Commission / OECD project, aimed at monitoring the direct 
       influence of tax and benefit instruments on household 
       incomes. Indicators of financial work incentives are 
       needed for identifying any undesired influences of taxes 
       and social transfers on peoples' work decisions. At the 
       same time, a central part of recent tax and benefit reform
       strategies has been to reduce reliance on welfare by 
       making work pay, that is, to make work an economically 
       attractive option relative to welfare. It is therefore 
       desirable to monitor the effects of such policies as well 
       as the potential for further reform
