This indicator reflects the proportion of individuals in the second income quintile engaged in social insurance programs, which are vital for financial security and well-being. It encompasses those benefiting from contributory pensions aimed at supporting the elderly, disabled individuals, and survivors, as well as health insurance provisions that cover a range of essential benefits. These may include protection against occupational injuries, paid sick leave, maternity leave, and other social security measures. The estimates take into account both direct beneficiaries, who receive financial assistance, and indirect beneficiaries, who gain access to vital services through these programs, highlighting the broader impact of social safety nets in reducing vulnerability and promoting social equity among lower-income groups.
