Characteristic whereby the growth of a variable causes the growth of another but less than proportionately. In a fiscal context, the increase in taxes on basic consumer goods is regressive in that it implies a greater fiscal burden for people in a low income bracket as they have to dedicate a larger proportion of their income to the consumption of those goods. The same would happen if the proportion of indirect taxes on expenses was very high. Practically all fiscal systems are progressive. 1, record 7, English, - regressivity

Caractéristique par laquelle la croissance d'une variable provoque la croissance d'une autre à un degré moindre que la proportion. En matière fiscale, une augmentation des impôts sur les biens de consommation de base serait régressive car elle entraînerait une augmentation proportionnelle des impôts aux personnes dont les revenus sont inférieurs puisqu'ils consacrent un pourcentage plus élevé de leurs revenus à la consommation des biens cités. Il en est de même si la proportion des impôts indirects sur les dépenses est élevée. La plupart des systèmes fiscaux sont progressifs. 3, record 7, French, - caract%C3%A8re%20r%C3%A9gressif

Característica por la que el crecimiento de una variable causa el crecimiento de otra pero menos que proporcionalmente.
