#cofog10 - Social protection
Government expenditures on social protection include expenditures on services and transfers provided to individual persons and households and expenditures on services provided collectively. Expenditures on individual services and transfers are allocated to groups (101) to (107); expenditures on collective services are allocated to groups (108) and (109).
Collective social protection services deal with such matters as the formulation and administration of government policy; the formulation and implementation of legislation and standards to provide social protection; and applied research and experimental development in social protection matters and services.
Social protection functions and their definitions are based on the 1996 European System of Integrated Social Protection Statistics (ESSPROS) of the Statistical Office of the European Communities (Eurostat). In ESSPROS, social protection includes health care, but this division does not include health care. Health care is covered by Division 07. Therefore, medical goods and services provided to persons receiving the cash and in-kind benefits specified in groups (101) to (107) are classified in (071), (072) or (073), as appropriate.
