This indicator reflects the proportion of individuals within the fourth income quintile
engaging in social insurance initiatives that safeguard against various life risks, including retirement, disability, and occupational hazards. It encompasses those benefitting from contributory pension schemes and broader social security measures, such as health insurance and maternity leave, aiming to
ensure economic stability and health security among middle-to-upper income populations. By evaluating both direct recipients and those benefiting indirectly through family or community connections, this metric provides a comprehensive view of social safety nets, revealing the extent to which vital protections are accessible to those with higher earnings and the disparities that may still exist even within this wealthier segment.
