| Data description | The European System of integrated Social PROtection Statistics (ESSPROS) is a specific tool for statistical monitoring of social transfers for social protection as well as their financing in the member states of the EU. The social protection system consists of three parts - the core system, the module on pension beneficiaries and the module on net social protection benefits. In the core system annual data for receipts and expenditure by scheme is provided as well as data on paid benefits by function "Sickness/Healthcare", "Disability", "Old age", "Survivors", "Family/Children", "Unemployment", "Housing" and "Social exclusion not elsewhere classified". |
| Classification system | · Classification of ESSPROS functions; · Classification of institutional sectors from which receipts of social protection schemes originate; · Classification of expenditure of social protection system by type; · Classification of social protection functions; · Classification of social benefits in each function. |
| Sector coverage | In Bulgaria ESSPROS includes the following social protection schemes:

| Statistical concepts and definitions | The European System of integrated Social PROtection Statistics (ESSPROS) is an instrument of statistical observation which enables international comparison of the administrative national data on social protection in the EU Member States. The conventional definition used for the scope of social protection definition is the following: "Social Protection encompasses 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. The list of risks or needs that may give rise to social protection is, by convention, as follows: Sickness/Health care, Disability, Old age, Survivors, Family/children, Unemployment, Housing and Social exclusion not elsewhere classified". ESSPROS is meant as a common framework enabling a comprehensive and coherent description of social protection: - covering social benefits to households and their financing; - geared to international comparability; - harmonising with other statistics, particularly the national accounts, in its main concepts. The ESSPROS system ESSPROS is composed of a Core system and of modules. The Core system includes: - Quantitative data: annual data on Social protection receipts and expenditures by scheme/groups of schemes and for the total of schemes; they provide a means of analysing and comparing social protection financial flows. - Qualitative information: Metadata by social protection scheme and detailed benefit. The Modules contain supplementary statistical information on particular aspects of social protection: - A module on Pension Beneficiaries has been introduced in 2008 and data from 2006 to 2011 are available in Eurobase - ESSPROS domain. According to the EP and Council Regulation 458/2007 (Annex II), pension beneficiaries are defined as recipients of one or more of the periodic cash benefits of a social protection scheme falling within seven pension categories (disability pension; early retirement benefit due to reduced capacity to work; old-age pension; anticipated old-age pension; partial pension; survivors' pension; early retirement benefit due to labour market reasons). The aim of the module on pension beneficiaries is to calculate the total number of beneficiaries within:

| Quality assurance | The European system for integrated social protection statistics is an annual survey which is conducted in the framework of Regulation No 458/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European system for social protection statistics, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1322/2007 on appropriate formats for transmission, results to be transmitted and criteria for measuring quality and Commission Regulation (EC) No 10/2008 on definitions, detailed classifications and updating of the rules for dissemination. |
| Quality assessment | Data is accompanied by quality information for each social protection scheme as well as detailed description of the various types of benefits provided. Quality report is prepared. |
| Relevance | |
| User needs | The main users of ESSPROS data are:
|
| User satisfaction | No survey is conducted for user satisfaction. |
| Completeness | ESSPROS encompasses interventions from public and 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. |
| Accuracy and reliability | |
| Overall accuracy | As ESSPROS data are based on many administrative sources, the standard indicators for measuring accuracy are not directly applicable. Therefore, the accuracy is estimated by considering the non-sampling errors in the data sources. |
| Sampling error | ESSPROS is not a sample survey. |
| Non-sampling error | Limitations in the scope of and problems of measurement, evaluation of the method of estimation and revisions. |
| Timeliness and punctuality | |
| Timeliness | According to the schedule for ESSPROS data provision, defined by Regulation 458/2007, data is provided with a margin of 18 months. |
| Punctuality | The target date for provision of data on the ESSPROS core system is determined by the European Parliament and Regulation (EO) No 458/2007 of the Council (appendix 1, items 1.3 and 2.3), according to which quantitative data at all schemes level and qualitative information for year N must be disseminated by Eurostat no later than 31 October of year N+2. |
| Coherence and comparability | |
| Comparability - geographical | Social protection schemes differ greatly between different countries. There are great differences in the number and share of these schemes. In some countries the number of social protection schemes is very high while in others, usually these with small number of beneficiaries, the schemes are only partially covered by the data sources. |
| Comparability - over time | There are minor changes as regards the schemes, data sources, timeliness and scope of data in different countries which means that data from different years are comparable. |
| Coherence - cross domain | Not applicable. |
| Coherence - internal | As far as possible, there needs to be coherence between quantitative data and qualitative information. Where benefits are classified under a certain scheme, the description of these benefits should be found in the qualitative information and vice versa, unless the scheme described in the qualitative information has not yet entered into force (i.e. no benefits are supplied in the reference year) or has expired (i.e. the scheme is split into two different schemes, merged with another scheme or definitively abolished). Coherence should be ensured as far as possible between the core system and the module on pension beneficiaries. If there are benefits classified under a particular pension item for a scheme, the number of beneficiaries should be found in the corresponding item in the pension beneficiaries module, and vice versa. |
| Cost and burden | |
Data is collected from administrative sources. | |
| Data revision | |
| Data revision - policy | Not applicable. |
| Data revision - practice | Data revision is possible due to different reasons, for example change in the data sources used, change in the methods used for data estimation, due to adjustments in definitions used, etc. |
| Statistical processing | |
