Module 3: Budgeting and projecting revenue and expenditure of social protection schemes and systems

Home Social Budgeting | Self-learning kit | Module 1: Introduction | Module 2: Model frame | Module 3: Budgeting and Projecting

In this third module we will discuss some basic techniques to simulate and project income and expenditure of social protection schemes within the major social protection functions, such as pensions, health care, unemployment benefits, social assistance and so on.

These techniques can then be used to model the main expenditure and income categories of different national institutions in concrete country cases.

For example, in many countries pensions are provided by more than one scheme and administered by different institutions. Often there is a general scheme for the private sector and another separate scheme for government employees. Health care systems often are even more fragmented, consisting of a set of social insurance and private insurance subsystems as well as the government systems, which are charged with certain delivery functions for the total population and/or to provide comprehensive services for those who cannot afford the coverage under the other schemes.
