The European Survivors Net Social Protection index displays substantial variations among countries. In 2023, Slovakia led with the highest value, almost unchanged from the previous year, marking a steady top position. Conversely, Ireland and Italy showed prominent declines, reflecting reduced social protection percentages. Noteworthy improvements were seen in Malta and the Netherlands, indicating robust enhancements over the last year. Regionally, Eastern European countries, such as Bulgaria and Romania, recorded minor negative shifts, maintaining relatively high values.
Future trends to monitor include the potential impacts of policy shifts in social welfare, economic conditions affecting allocations, and demographic changes influencing social support necessity. Special attention should be given to how Western European countries may address declining social protection percentages to bridge the disparity with Eastern European nations.
