Considering the local areas where citizens live is fundamental to investi- gate the impact of the increasing financial difficulties and of the reduction of public funding on several crucial needs that may give riser to social protection, such as health care, old-age and unemployment. In this work we analyze some key indica- tors of social protection services from the perspective of the beneficiaries, the Italian households. We used the EU-SILC 2013 data together with data coming from ad- ministrative archives to produce small area estimates of social protection indicators at provincial level in Italy (LAU 1), such as the households’ Head Count Ratio be- fore and after the social transfers, and the proportion and the mean of a specific category of benefits, family/children allowances.

Abstract
Considering the local areas where citizens live is fundamental to investi- gate the impact of the increasing financial difficulties and of the reduction of public funding on several crucial needs that may give riser to social protection, such as health care, old-age and unemployment. In this work we analyze some key indica- tors of social protection services from the perspective of the beneficiaries, the Italian households. We used the EU-SILC 2013 data together with data coming from ad- ministrative archives to produce small area estimates of social protection indicators at provincial level in Italy (LAU 1), such as the households’ Head Count Ratio be- fore and after the social transfers, and the proportion and the mean of a specific category of benefits, family/children allowances.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
