It encompasses the proportion of individuals in the lowest income bracket who are beneficiaries of contributory pensions, including support for survivors and those with disabilities, as well as access to essential health insurance and social security benefits like maternity leave and occupational injury compensation. By evaluating both direct and indirect beneficiaries, this metric provides
critical insights into the effectiveness of social safety nets and
highlights disparities in coverage among the poorest populations, ultimately informing policy initiatives aimed at enhancing social protection and improving the living standards of marginalized groups.
