The modernization of the safety-net can provide much more effective welfare support to the population while consuming fewer fiscal resources. The key to this approach is fiscal consolidation and rebalancing of the fiscal resources from housing utilities subsidy (HUS) to minimum income support (GMI) for improved targeting of social safety net spending. This will entail a gradual contraction of the HUS and, the expansion of the GMI, and the integration of some child benefits such as the single mother benefit into the GMI. Such integration of support is expected to improve targeting of social spending, reduce fiscal pressures, improve benefits for poor households, simplify the system, standardize rules, and discourage welfare dependency. The end-goal for the reform is to develop a system that supports more equitable distribution of welfare expenditures, with the GMI playing a central safety net role, and HUS playing a smaller complementary role to support energy affordability for most vulnerable groups.

By discussing Sen's capability approach, in particular, it is suggested that income or consumption are not necessarily the only indicators of interest in a poverty analysis. We then explore how comprehensive a picture of poverty can be gained by focusing on an income‐based measure, using Chilean data from 1992. We analyse the role of income both as having a direct impact on a set of indicators of well‐being and as proxying the relevant factors affecting them. In both cases the link is found to be weak. This suggests that poverty analysis is highly conditional on the indicators chosen and that the approach should be kept as broad as possible in order to capture more fully the multidimensional nature of such a complex phenomenon.
