This metric captures the share of overall benefits from social protection and labor initiatives that are allocated to the lowest income quintile, representing the most disadvantaged 20% of the population. It includes a comprehensive range of programs such as unemployment insurance, social safety nets, and active labor market measures aimed at promoting employment. By examining both direct recipients and secondary beneficiaries, this indicator highlights the
effectiveness and reach of SPL programs in reducing poverty and inequality. A higher percentage suggests a more
equitable distribution of resources, underscoring the role of these programs in delivering essential support and fostering social inclusion for those most in need. Understanding this distribution is vital for policymakers aiming to enhance the impact and efficiency of social protection strategies.
