Description :

Production of indicators on unemployment benefits replacement rate is presently made on ad hoc basis and a systematic conceptual framework is lacking. The aim will thus be to set up a reliable tool to evaluate the level and evolution of net replacement rates in different case studies and to provide useful information for policy decision making.

Implementation:

The first task will be methodology development taking into account the different calculation components and steps for each case study. On this basis, the next step will be to build a database for the relevant information.
