This paper shows the estimates of National Transfer Accounts (NTA) for Spain in 2006 disaggregated by education level. Overall, our results indicate that, besides age population composition, education level has a big impact on the economic behavior of households and, hence, on the aggregate economy. Educated households tend to participate more and longer in the labor market, to produce more and, consequently, to consume more. As differences in consumption are lower than in labor income, they are able to contribute to the public system with higher taxes and contributions, and they depend less on public transfers over their lifecycle. Therefore, education seems to be crucial to sustain the welfare state in an ageing society.

Per aconseguir aquest objectiu, primer es descriuran les polítiques en tres àrees: el mercat de treball, el de capitals i les decisions macroeconòmiques. Finalment s’analitzarà com totes aquestes van afectar la distribució de la renda, el consum i els nivells de vida. A partir d’aquest treball es conclou que les polítiques econòmiques nazis van ser ineficients i van comportar l’augment de la desigualtat a més de la caiguda del consum i de la qualitat de vida., (eng) The aim of this paper is analyze the Nazis’ economic policies and how they affected the living standards while the country prepared for WW2 (1933-1939). To achieve that, we begin by describing the policies in three areas: labor market, capital market and the macroeconomic policymaking. After that, we focus on how this decisions affected income distribution, consumption and living standards. From this research we conclude Nazis’ policies were inefficient and also lead to the rise of income inequality, the fall of consumption and lower living standards.
