Fl-2023, in-nefqa soċjali telgħet bʼ€106.4 miljuni mill-€2,610.3 miljuni rrappurtati fl-2022. Dan l-infiq kien daqs 13.2 fil-mija tal-PDG nazzjonali, tnaqqis ta’ 1.1 punti perċentwali mis-sena taʼ qabel, wara tkabbir akbar tal-PDG (12.4 fil-mija), li kien irrappurtat bejn is-sentejn taʼ riferenza.

L-akbar żieda kienet irreġistrata fil-benefiċċji kontributorji tas-Sigurtà Soċjali (€72.8 miljun), segwita mill-Isptarijiet u Faċilitajiet Oħra tal-Kura tas-Saħħa (€57.1 miljun) u l-Kura tal-Anzjani u Persuni bʼDiżabbiltà (€26.9 miljun).

Methodological Notes

1. Social Protection Expenditure data published in this release is compiled in line with the European System of integrated Social Protection Statistics (ESSPROS) Manual 2022 edition as issued by Eurostat.
 
2. Expenditure data reported is largely collected from various administrative sources, including:
i. Department of Social Security;
ii. Treasury Department;
iii. Jobsplus;         
iv. Transport Malta;
v. Gozo Channel Ltd.;
vi. The NSO’s National Accounts Methods, Standards and Sector Accounts Unit;
vii. Housing Authority;
viii. Foundation for Social Welfare Services;
ix. Malta Enterprise.
 
3. In each scheme, social benefits are then further categorised into eight functions, together accounting for all the social risks faced by society. These functions are defined in the ESSPROS manual (Part 1, Article 110) as follows:
 

i. Sickness/Health care: Income maintenance and support in cash in connection with physical or mental illness, excluding disability. Health care intended to maintain, restore or improve the health of the people protected irrespective of the origin of the disorder.

ii. Disability: Income maintenance and support in cash or kind (except health care) in connection with the inability of physically or mentally disabled people to engage in economic and social activities.

iii. Old Age: Income maintenance and support in cash or kind (except health care) in connection with old age.

iv. Survivors: Income maintenance and support in cash or kind in connection with the death of a family member.

v. Family/Children: Support in cash or kind (except health care) in connection with the costs of pregnancy, childbirth and adoption, bringing up children and caring for other family members.

vi. Unemployment: Income maintenance and support in cash or kind in connection with unemployment.

vii. Housing: Help towards the cost of housing.

viii. Social exclusion not elsewhere classified (n.e.c.): Benefits in cash or kind (except health care) specifically intended to combat social exclusion that are not covered by one of the other functions.

 
4. Social benefits are grouped into schemes, a unit specifically defined in the ESSPROS manual (Part 1, Article 35) as a “distinct body of rules, supported by one or more institutional units, governing the provision of social benefits and their financing.” Schemes are chosen in such a way that they provide protection against a single risk or need, being aimed at a single specific group of beneficiaries. Furthermore, schemes should also meet the criteria that one is able to report a separate account of receipts and expenditures.
 
5. Sick leave covered by the employer during the first three days of absence is estimated based on the number of sick/injury hours per capita extracted from the Labour Cost Survey (LCS). Data collection through the survey began in 2008 and is performed every four years by the NSO’s Labour Market and Information Society Unit. For the years in between, a combination of linear interpolation and forecasting techniques are used to estimate the comparative sick/injury hours per capita.
 
6. Definitions:
i. Benefits in kind: Social benefits provided through goods and/or services.
 
ii. Cash benefits: Social benefits paid in cash either periodically at regular intervals (for example, payments are made every four weeks) or as one single payment in the form of a lump-sum. The general scope of these benefits may be as a replacement for previously earned income, as is the scope of pensions, or as a supplement to one’s annual income, for example Children’s Allowance.
 
iii. Gross domestic product (GDP): The total output (at current market prices) produced within a country during a reference period.
 
iv. Means-tested social benefits: Social benefits explicitly or implicitly conditional on the beneficiary’s income and/or wealth falling below a specified threshold. These benefits are generally targeted towards low-income households.
 
v. Social protection: All interventions from public or private bodies intended to relieve households and individuals of the burden of a defined set of risks or needs, provided that there is neither a simultaneous reciprocal nor an individual arrangement involved.
 
7. Social protection accounts are largely harmonised with National Accounts’ publications and form an integral part of the workings of the macro-economic framework for the calculation of GDP in terms of the European System of National and Regional Accounts (ESA 2010). ESA 2010 is an internationally compatible accounting framework for a systematic and detailed description of a total economy, its components and its relations with other total economies.
 
8. Data in this release is subject to revisions, principally due to National Accounts backward revisions.
