      Data source(s) used: INPSCentral Register of pensioners The statistical information on social security benefits was produced by using the archive called Central Register of pensioners managed by INPS (the Italian National Institute for Social Security). This archive was established by D.P.R. (Presidential Decree) no. 1338 of December 31, 1971, amended by D.L. (Decree) n.352 of July 6, 1978 and law no.85 of March 22, 1995. The institutional aims of the Register are the collection, preservation and processing of data and information about pension beneficiaries covered of pensions by the mandatory general disability, old-age and survivors’ insurance, the mandatory social security systems replacing that insurance, the mandatory systems for the provision of pensions to freelancers, any other mandatory social security system and any other supplementary or additional pension; under Article 3 of the D.L. no. 352 of 1978, the Register must also provide for the collection and preservation of data and information about beneficiaries of pension benefits or welfare uninterrupted allowances of a welfare nature, war pensions, permanent disability income or survivors’ income for those who died because of an accident at work or an occupational disease. The statistical analysis unit used is pension, that means the recurring and continuous supply of money paid individually by Public and Private Authorities and Institutions when the following requirements are met: upon reaching a certain age and reaching a certain degree of creditable service; in case of lack or reduction in the ability to work because of congenital or supervened impairment or because of accident at work or wars; death of the beneficiary. The yearly amount of pensions is surveyed as at December 31 and is made of the following factors, gross of any possible withholding: basic amount, increase linked to the variations in the cost of living index and trends of wages, salaries, year-end bonuses and possible other allowances and arrears. The yearly amount of each pension is the product of the monthly amount of the pension paid as at December 31 of the year and the number of monthly payment for which the payment is provided. The pension expenditure that follows represents a stock datum, and therefore does not coincide with the pension expenditure derived from accounting data of institutions that have provided the benefits (economic data of the budget).
