This indicator reflects the extent to which the most vulnerable segments of the population are supported by unemployment benefits and active labor market programs. It measures the proportion of individuals in the lowest income bracket who are receiving aid through various initiatives, including unemployment compensation, severance pay, and early retirement schemes linked to labor market conditions. Furthermore, it encompasses a range of employment services such as vocational training, job sharing, and wage subsidies designed to facilitate re-entry into the workforce. By capturing both direct and indirect beneficiaries, this metric highlights the effectiveness of government interventions in alleviating poverty and promoting labor market participation among those facing economic hardships, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive economic environment.
