This indicator merges data on the horizontal and vertical coverage of old-age pension programs.
- Horizontal coverage
The horizontal dimension of the indicator counts how many occupational/social groups of a predefined list are covered. This list comprises the following groups and sectors: 1) agriculture, 2) extractive and manufacturing industry, 3) commerce and finance, 4) students and apprentices, 5) domestic and family workers, 6) home workers, 7) employers, 8) self-employed, 9) temporary and seasonal workers, 10) foreign workers, and 11) all citizens.
- Vertical coverage
The vertical dimension counts how many subgroups of an occupational group are excluded from the pension program. For each subgroup of an occuapational group (e.g. agriculture) that is excluded, one point is subtracted. The values for each occupational group ahve the following meaning: 5) the entire occupational group is covered, 4) one subgroup of an occupational group is excluded, 3) two subgroups of an occupational group are excluded, 2) two or more subgroups of an occupational are excluded, 1) only a single subgroup of an occupational group is covered.
