| Definition |
The indicator reflects the proportion of people actually covered by a social protection system. The data are presented in different series to distinguish between the different components of the social protection system. For each case, coverage is expressed as a percentage of the respective population. Available series: - Proportion of unemployed people receiving unemployment benefits: Ratio of unemployment benefit recipients to the number of unemployed - Proportion of the population that exceeds the legal retirement age and receives a pension: Ratio of persons over the legal retirement age who receive a pension (contributory or non-contributory) to persons over the legal retirement age |
| Theoretical formula |
Proportion of unemployed people receiving unemployment benefits \[PP_{unemployed}^{t} = \frac{P_{unemployment\, benefit}^{t}}{P_{unemployment}^{t}} \cdot 100\]where: $P_{unemployment\, benefit}^{t} =$ Population receiving unemployment benefits in year $t$ $P_{unemployed}^{t} =$ unemployed population in year $t$ Proportion of the population that exceeds the legal retirement age and receives a pension \[PP_{retired}^{t} = \frac{P_{pension\,retirement\, age}^{t}}{P_{retirement\, age}^{t}} \cdot 100\]where: $P_{pension\,retirement\, age} =$ population that exceeds the legal retirement age and receives a pension in year $t$ $PP_{retirement\, age}^{t} =$ Population over the legal retirement age on 1 July $t$ |

| Observations |
The series “Proportion of unemployed persons receiving unemployment benefits” should be taken with caution and should not be interpreted as the proportion of unemployed persons who receive a benefit, since a high volume of permanent discontinuous workers can lead to a high coverage rate, even above 100. |
