Statistics Explained

Glossary:Transfers to or from other schemes

Unrequited payments made to/received from other social protection schemes. These are broken down in two categories:

  • Re-routed social contributions are payments that a social protection scheme makes on its own behalf to another scheme in order to maintain or accrue the rights of its protected people to social protection from the recipient scheme.
  • Other transfers to/from other schemes. An example of other transfers to/from other schemes is contributions in the form of a capital transfer made by one scheme to reduce the deficit of another.
