Government; social benefits 1987-2013

This table contains data on social benefits by the government. The terms used are in line with the National Accounts. The National Accounts are based on the international definitions of the European System of Accounts (ESA 1995). To increase the accessibility of the table, in some cases common definitions of income and expenditure categories are used instead of the terms from the National Accounts. The relevant National Accounts term is then mentioned in the notes. The data presented corresponds to the publications on the National Accounts.
