Description:

The Social Insurance Entitlements dataset (SIED) consists of gross and net value variables of the four insurance programs in the 34 countries between 1930 and 2015. The Social Insurance Entitlements dataset (SIED) is a continuation of the Social Citizenship Indicator Program(SCIP), but carries on data collection beyond 2005 for a larger number of countries. The SIE dataset closely follows the structure of SCIP, thus covering the same social insurance programs and sharing the same variable names. The SIE dataset includes the original 18 SCIP countries, but also stores data for all EU Member States as of 2010. The current version of SIED stores three waves of data for all EU countries, 2005 to 2015. Data for Greece, Portugal and Spain goes back to 1980.

Used abbreviations: APW= Average Production Worker, APWW= Average Production Workers Wage, RR= Replacement Rate.
