Indicator Name
Adequacy of social insurance programs (% of total welfare of beneficiary households)
Long definition
Adequacy of social insurance programs is measured by the total transfer amount received by the population participating in social insurance programs as a share of their total welfare. Welfare is defined as the total income or total expenditure of beneficiary households. Social insurance programs include old age contributory pensions (including survivors and disability) and social security and health insurance benefits (including occupational injury benefits, paid sick leave, maternity and other social insurance). Estimates include both direct and indirect beneficiaries.

Statistical concept and methodology
The ASPIRE harmonization methodology for household survey data involves three key steps. First, it identifies and classifies social protection and labor (SPL) programs by reviewing surveys and creating variables for country-specific programs, which are then aggregated into harmonized categories based on program typology. Second, households are ranked into welfare quintiles using updated welfare aggregates (income or consumption) officially agreed with National Statistical Offices and /or harmonized by the World Bank’s regional poverty teams. Lastly, all monetary values, including transfer amounts and welfare aggregates, are adjusted to 2017 US$ PPP values for accurate international comparison. Performance indicators are generated using ADePT Social Protection after the harmonization process.
Limitations and exceptions
When interpreting ASPIRE performance indicators based on household surveys, it is important to note that the extent to which information on specific transfers and programs is captured in the household surveys can vary a lot across countries. Moreover, household surveys do not capture the universe of social protection programs in the country, in best practice cases just the largest programs. As a consequence, ASPIRE indicators are not fully comparable across program categories and countries; however, they provide approximate measures of social protection systems performance. In addition, there may be cases where ASPIRE performance indicators differ from official WB country reports as ASPIRE indicators are based on a first level analysis of original survey data and unified methodology that does not necessarily reflect country-specific knowledge and in depth country analysis relying on administrative program level data and/or imputations.
