This indicator reflects the proportion of the
population in the fourth income quintile that engages with unemployment benefits and active labor market programs (ALMP). It encompasses diverse forms of support, including unemployment compensation, severance pay, and early retirement options linked to labor market transitions. Additionally, it accounts for various employment services, ranging from vocational training and life skills development to innovative programs like job rotation and wage subsidies. By capturing both direct and indirect beneficiaries, this measure provides vital insights into the effectiveness of social safety nets and labor market interventions, highlighting challenges and opportunities in addressing the needs of higher-income groups within a changing economic landscape.
