Overview

Analysis reveals carbon costs disproportionately affect single and childless households, highlighting social equity issues.

Key Points

  • Single and childless households disproportionately bear the carbon costs under EU ETS2, with significant financial strain.
  • The study found that those in economically disadvantaged areas face greater burdens, especially regarding heating expenses.
  • Using a Multiregional input-output model, the research assesses the economic impacts of carbon pricing on household finances.
  • Targeted carbon revenue rebates and heating fuel subsidies could alleviate pressure on vulnerable households affected by ETS2.
