Adequacy of Social Protection and Labour Benefits, 2023 compilation

Each country’s newest reading as of 2023; every row carries its own year · stored as published, never rewritten

Adequacy measures what social protection is worth to the households that receive it: the transfers they get — pensions, cash transfers, unemployment and labour-market benefits — as a share of their total income or consumption. Coverage says who is reached; adequacy says whether what they get makes a difference.

Adequacy of Social Protection and Labour Benefits, 2023 compilation covers 123 countries. Laos is highest, at 90.857; Burundi is lowest, at 1.182. The middle country reads 17.163. 29 readings are more than ten years older than the file and are listed but not compared.
