The indicator identifies whether legislation covers both workers in specific occupational groups as well as citizens or residents of a country that are not covered by the employment-based system.


Coding rules

The variable assumes the value of 1 if both an employment-based family allowance and a non-contributory child benefit for citizens or residents exist in the country, and 0 if otherwise. The information is coded based on indications in the relevant law or program description.

Missing information is coded as follows:

  • -999 = No information available: Data was unavailable or could not be found.
  • -888 = Policy does not exist: Data was not collected due to knowledge that the policy either does not exist or has been discontinued.
  • -777 = Not applicable: Data was not collected because it was not relevant for this specific country or child benefit system.
