MaddalenaHonorati and RuslanYemtsov (Social Protection, World Bank) Joint World Bank-LIS workshop on database creation and survey harmonization Washington, June 6, 2013 ASPIRE: Harmonized data on Social Protection and Labor
Motivation and background • Lack of comprehensive and systematic data collection tools on SP programs and systems in developing world (especially LICs) • Optimize and capitalize on existing data collection efforts by the WB regional teams • data collected/compiled in a decentralized way and in different format making comparisons difficult • Increasing demand from policymakers, civil society, World Bank staff and other international stakeholders to access SPL data.
Objectives • Create a comprehensive, standardized and up-to-date database of SPL indicators on program design, performance and “environment” across countries and time • Need to build empirical evidence for SP systems and their components • Focus also on program complementarities in addressing risks, overlaps… • Develop common matrix for assessing performance of SP and monitor over time • Contribute to improve the quality/availability of survey data on SP • Monitor the implementation of the new WB 2012-22 SPL Strategy
ASPIRE components • Data collection, harmonization and validation • “Environment” indicators • Program/system indicators of design and performance • Tools for data analysis (ADePT SP) • Training in tools (Bank and non-Bank clients) • Analytical notes and reports • External partnership and internal collaboration • Dissemination
ASPIRE data sources Primary sources: national • Administrative: published or regional/other databases • Nationally representative household surveys data (AdePT SP) • LSMS • HH budget surveys • Other surveys (program participation, etc.) • I2D2 Secondary sources: international organizations OECD, IMF, ILO , ISSA , Helpage, WHO, UN, UCW SI coverage indicators are 65% based on primary administrative sources in the country, and 25% on ILO statistics. World Bank country-level SP system assessments, targeting assessment reports, regional databases (SPEED in ECA) Regulations and laws (for design indicators)
Administrative data on SA and LM programs Regional existing efforts to collect program-level comparable data (ECA (23), LAC (10), Africa (20), MENA (8) + 35 countries in EAP and SAR by ADB SPI) on focus on the following indicators: • Program design/description • Program objective • Eligibility criteria • Targeting mechanism • Payment type • Benefit amount/indexation • Frequency of payment • Source and structure of financing • Implementing agency • Year in which the program started • Program performance • Total expenditure/GDP • Number of beneficiaries/population
ASPIRE: HH surveys pillar Percent covered by Main Types Social Protection Programs by Regions (Percent of population receiving transfers from social protection program) • Questionnaires • SP program classifications • ADePT SP ini files • Database • Country-specific outcomes • Metadata • Cross-country figures and tables
ASPIRE SURVEY Database : What else is inside? • Country-specific standard tables on coverage (direct and indirect), adequacy, and benefit incidence analysis • By quintiles of welfare, with counterfactuals – pre-transfer; BWR variations); • Using household income/consumption per capita as welfare • By program • Using relative poverty line (20% percentile) • Using absolute poverty line ($1.25 in PPP)- NEW • Impact of SP transfers on FGT (0, 1, 2) and inequality (Gini); cost-benefit ratios • By program • Country-specific data base in STATA with harmonized SP programs and welfare variables; ADePT routines • Full documentation of main variables/peculiarities of data • Decomposition of SP impact into budget adequacy/efficiency: PLANNED • Metadata with administrative statistics; facility to make imputations following program rules (with ADePT SP): PLANNED

Challenges • Expanding (this year +10 countries, and 25 updates, next year?) • New data collection : coordination • I2D2 • China? • HIC? • Classification/ Harmonization • Deflation/ scale economies/equivalence • Counterfactual (pre-, post- transfer, in between) • Quality checks on SP/ Imputations • Developing good instrument(s) for SP data collection • User-friendly / target different audiences
