    a. Incentive to work increase

    b. This change increase efficiency but decrease equality

    Explanation:

    a. Reduction of welfare benefits period increasing employment opportunities. Job prospects are diminished now (profit).

    b. This bill reform would reduce the distortion created by the benefit program (disincentive to work) and thus improve efficiency.

    At the same time, though, the move will reduce the Program's effect on poverty reduction and indirectly on social inequality.

    The reform can therefore represent a balance between productivity and equity.
