Links between social protection/health/education statistics and national accounts Item8 of the draft agenda DSS Meeting2 and 3 March 2017
Background Threework areas • Social Protection (SP) • Health • Education Project started in November2015 (SP & Education) Project supported by WG (& TF) Project reported to DSS fromFebruary 2016 Eurostat
1. Social protection In line with user needs, three parts: • Links between ESSPROS and national accounts framework (ESA 2010) • Early estimates for main social protection aggregates • Satellite accounts on social protection Nota bene: ESSPROS methodology built to be as much as possible consistent with NA. Not the case for "SHA" methodology and Education data methodology.
1. Social protection: links with NA Now available (for discussion WG April 2017) • Conceptual aspects Methodological document on links & differences • Data comparison Validation rules (ESSPROS/NA) and standard "bridge table" (in particular COFOG data) • Data production processes Feasibility analysis (2 countries) for early SP estimates built on "preliminary NA accounts" data
1. Social protection: links with NA To be done Implementation of links ESSPROS/NA, including early estimates, at national level How? • Co-operation at Eurostat and national levels between SP statistics and NA (Directors level needed) • Grants to be awarded in 2017 (documents now available will guide actions)
2. Health • Analysis of the links between "SHA" and the national accounts framework (ESA 2010) • Will cover conceptual aspects and data comparison, as well as data production process • Work to start in the first half of 2017 As of now: focus on implementation of new Regulation of health financing & expenditure (data compiled according to SHA)
3. Education In line with user needs, three parts: • Improvement of the quality and timeliness of expenditure data on education ("UOE" data) • Analysis of their consistency with NA framework (conceptual aspects & data comparison) • Preliminary study for satellite accounts on education and training
3. Education Where are we? • Quality & links with NA: March 2018 with interim report to WG June 2017 • Possible framework for satellite accounts (including non-monetary data): May-June 2017
DSS is invited to … • Take note of progress achieved and on-going work in the area of social protection, health and education • Support the reinforcement/development at national level of links between ESSPROS and NA, including the development of early estimates for social protection aggregates DSS members are therefore encouraged to contact their NA counterpart and support the application to grants in 2017 Eurostat
