This indicator 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 have 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 group are excluded, 1) only a single subgroup of an occupational group is covered. The vertical coverage is expressed as a percentage share of the maximal vertical coverage that the given number of protected groups can achieve.
